After just over two years of confinement due to the covid-19 pandemic, gradually resuming the daily activities of people around the world and having officially removed the use of the mandatory face mask in open spaces seems to be a big step that gives us the illusion of returning to normality.
However, it seems that victory cannot yet be claimed over the restrictions left by the coronavirus, since the news was recently released that Wuhan, the city where the coronavirus pandemic began, went back into confinement after having reported a outbreak of infections.
According to the health authorities of the Chinese city, on October 26, 1,241 new cases of people infected with coronavirus were reported, outbreaks that were mostly in the Hayang district, in Wuhan, which caused confinement. For this reason, the 900,000 inhabitants of the city were asked to stay at home and not go out more than strictly necessary during the last five days.
Among the measures imposed by the city, the government will have controlled the roads and the access of people who can enter the district, as well as the strict rule that the residents of the place must undergo PCR tests every day that the confinement lasts. .
Although Wuhan has been registering 20 to 25 new infected people per day in the last week, its figures are not that high compared to the numbers registered by European nations such as Germany, France and Italy, where, despite Despite the hundreds of cases of contagion, its inhabitants live without sanitary restrictions.
Among the possible sources believed to have caused the outbreak of covid-19 are the local supply of pork or seafood from the Huanan market, as some workers and shoppers have contracted the mysterious flu-like virus. While others claim that it was leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, since it is very close to the district and they were working on the bat coronavirus.
