A Chinese city has sparked a backlash on social media after saying it would consider the use of lockdowns in the event of an influenza outbreak.
The city of Xi'an — a tourism hotspot in Shaanxi province that is home to the famous terracotta warriors — revealed an emergency response plan this week that would enable it to shut schools, businesses and"other crowded places" in the event of a severe flu epidemic.
"How will people not panic given that Xi'an's proposal to suspend work and business activities were issued without clear instruction on the national level to classify the disease?" asked another. At the first and highest level, it says,"the city can lock down infected areas, carry out traffic quarantines and suspend production and business activities. Shopping malls, theaters, libraries, museums, tourist attractions and other crowded places will also be closed."
Throughout the pandemic, China had enforced some of the world's most severe Covid restrictions, including lockdowns that stretched into months in some cities. It was also one of the last countries in the world to end measures such as mass testing and strict border quarantine periods, even amid growing evidence of the damage being done to its economy.
