Chinese officials have imposed quarantine restrictions on two cities in the province of Jilin located in northeast China. Jilin is part of a wider province located in the Dongbei region - which is home to more than 100 million residents. The threat level in the area has been raised to “high-risk” by health authorities.
Health officials have identified two emergency hospitals to treat the suspected spike in COVID-19 infections.
Around 40,000 residents in the cities of Jilin and Shulan have been tested for coronavirus after officials were alerted to a possible new outbreak.
In Jilin, authorities stopped all major transport links to and from neighbouring cities until further notice.
In Shulan, all villages and residential compounds were sealed off after a similar outbreak of COVID-19 cases last week.
The city quarantined 8,000 residents after 18 cases were detected since May 7.
Residents are only permitted to leave their homes for essential reasons in a two hour slot, every other day.
Schools, public places and public transport were forced to close.
In the past 24 hours the Jilin health authority reported five new confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Jilin - located near to the eastern borders with Russia and North Korea.
On Monday the National Health Commission (NHC) said there had six new cases of the deadly virus in China – including one in the city of Wuhan - which is widely thought to be the origin of the disease.
