Fengman District raises COVID-19 risk level to high

The COVID-19 risk level in Fengman District in Jilin City, northeast China's Jilin Province, has been raised from medium to high following three new domestic cases on Saturday.

The three are the only domestic COVID-19 cases reported on the Chinese mainland on Saturday. 

Following the upgrade to high alert, all residential communities in the district will adopt closed-off management, with only one member of each household allowed to shop for groceries daily.

All residents are, "in principle," not allowed to leave Jilin City. However, in the case of essential outbound travel, individuals must self-isolate and undergo a nucleic acid and present the report before they are permitted to leave the city.

Classes for all grades have been suspended, as schools temporarily close, and all types of entertainment venues like karaoke, indoor gyms and theaters have been shuttered.
