NE China's Jilin maintains ample daily necessities for citizens amid outbreak

The second wave of COVID-19 in northeast China's Jilin City has forced the local authorities to take proper precautions. Malls, markets and restaurants have been closed until further notice, while those still open have to cater to the city's 4.5 million people.

Fengman district, a high-risk neighborhood under partial lockdown, has implemented the toughest travel ban in Jilin's history. The district announced on May 18 that citizens living in residential areas with confirmed cases must stay at home, with food and daily necessities delivered to each household every three days by the community service.

Meanwhile, in areas less affected, each family may assign one person to go out with a permit and shop every day. However, many residents feel reluctant to do so, worrying about potential risks they may face. Employees of a supermarket chain have volunteered to help residents in full protective gear.
