  • People allowed to leave China’s Wuhan as Covid-19 lockdown eases

    People allowed to leave China’s Wuhan as Covid-19 lockdown eases

    People allowed to leave China’s Wuhan as Covid-19 lockdown eases 1

    WUHAN: The central Chinese city of Wuhan began allowing people to leave on Wednesday for the first time since it was locked down 76 days ago to contain the novel coronavirus, despite fears of a second wave of infection if such restrictions are eased too soon.

    China sealed off the city of 11 million people on Jan. 23 after it became clear that the flu-like virus that had emerged there late last year was highly contagious and potentially deadly.

    The first train to carry departing passengers out of the city left at 00:50 a.m. (1650 GMT), and outbound highways were opened to vehicular traffic around the same time.

    “I’m very happy, I’m going home today,“ migrant worker Liu Xiaomin told Reuters as she stood with her suitcases inside Wuhan’s Hankou railway station, bound for Xiangyang city.

    The topic “Wuhan lifts lockdown” quickly became the top trending topic on China’s Twitter-like Weibo platform, with posters leaving comments such as “welcome back Wuhan”.

    Based on ticket sales, 55,000 people will leave Wuhan by train on Wednesday, state broadcaster CCTV reported, citing the railway authority.

    That is slightly more than the number of people who have caught the virus in Wuhan since December. The death toll in the city has reached 2,571, about 80% of the total fatalities in China, according to official figures.

    At its peak, the lockdown saw people forcibly confined to their homes and the transport and industrial hub resembled a ghost town, with streets deserted except for police patrols and emergency vehicles.

    But such restrictions have eased in recent days as new infections dropped to a trickle. Mainland China reported no coronavirus deaths for the first time on Tuesday, and Wuhan has counted only two new infections in the past fortnight.

    Authorities are walking a fine line between allowing greater freedom of movement and economic activity while also guarding against a second wave of infection, with particular concern around imported cases and people who show no symptoms but can still pass on the virus.

    Wuhan residents are still urged not to leave their neighbourhoods, the city and even the province unless necessary, health officials said on Tuesday.

    Many people remain fearful of catching the disease, with China reporting 137 new asymptomatic cases on April 7.

    “The number of asymptomatic patients has been slowly going up, I’m worried about this,“ said Yang Chengjun, who was leaving Wuhan by train to get back to his design job in Fuzhou. He was wearing a knee-length raincoat and speaking through a mask.

    Tall barriers continue to surround housing compounds in Wuhan and residents can only leave if they have a green health code or documents showing a valid reason.

    Migrant worker Liu said she and her husband would still be careful about going outside even when they get home to Xiangyang city.

    “My mood will be better but when I get back I still won’t go out too much,“ she said.

    “Vegetables from Kundasang have even reached Sarawak through Sindumin. In fact, Sabah FAMA has also facilitated 45 metric tonnes of produce to places like Selayang in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur. There was no issue.”

    Meanwhile, Junz praised farmer and activist Azizul Julirin and his friends for assisting the transportation of produce to Kota Kinabalu.

    “I have met and been in touch with Azizul who is a youth activist and farmer in Kundasang himself. He and his friends have been transporting vegetables from Kundasang to Kota Kinabalu.”

    “But who is Jailin who made the baseless claim? Is he from Kundasang and a farmer in Kundasang? We have never seen him around and the locals don’t know him.”

    “My ministry through the Agriculture Department will continue allowing and monitoring the situation. We have been doing this since the first and second week of the MCO and we will continue doing so,” Junz concluded. – Borneo Post

    “You are all idiots”, woman shouts at Ops Covid roadblock personnel

    “You are all idiots”, woman shouts at Ops Covid roadblock personnel 6

    PETALING JAYA: For calling a group of police personnel and soldiers manning a roadblock in Kota Damansara “idiots”, a 44-year-woman landed herself in hot soup with the authorities Tuesday morning.

    The sales manager’s temper apparently flared after she was caught in heavy traffic for more than an hour due to the Ops Covid roadblock to enforce the movement control order (MCO) at Persiaran Surian.

    It is learnt that the single woman was on her way back home to her apartment which is situated opposite the roadblock site.

    At about 9.40am, when she finally made it out of the traffic congestion, she wound down her car window and allegedly shouted at police, “You are all idiots”.

    Petaling Jaya police chief ACP Nik Ezanee Mohd Faisal, who was also present at the roadblock at the time, said the woman was arrested for provocation and taken to the Damansara police station for investigations.

    He said apart from uttering harsh words at the police, the woman also questioned the need for a roadblock in the area.

    “We may be idiots but we are idiots who have your very safety in our minds and hearts. We are sorry for causing you such inconvenience but we have a job to do, which is keeping you safe. That is all we want to do. I am sorry,” said Nik Ezanee, who appeared disappointed with the indifferent attitude of certain members of the public towards the seriousness of police in containing movement in the district.

    The district of Petaling is listed as the top red zone for the Covid-19 contamination, with over 220 cases of infected persons being the highest recorded in the country.

    As such, Petaling Jaya police are taking a stern and uncompromising stance in controlling the spread of the virus.

    A week after the MCO was initially enforced on March 18, Petaling Jaya police dropped its soft approach on those who flouted the order and began making arrests.

    Since March 25, more than 83 people have been arrested in the district and several have been charged in court.
