A new wave of infections from omicron variant has started spreading in China since the beginning of this month and scattered across 28 provinces.In Xi’an,all the schools and indoor venues stopped work again,but the city was not blocked off ,only a few residential areas which have been found infection cases or have potential risks were in lock down.This kind of state would continue for a week,then before the end of the week the government would notify people the next move according to the situation.
What the local government had done this time was obvious better than in last time,that had served a tough lesson for the officials.Firstly,the government detected the first new cases and the close contacts rapidly,meanwhile,the experts gave an exact source of the virus,therefor ,it was clear enough enabling the government took actions at the early stage.Because of the timely responses,the government gained/bought a lot of time to minimize the possibility of infection,moreover,it didn’t cause much anxiety and panic,most people looked more calm this time.The government took a series of urgent measures to stop the virus from spreading,such as travel restriction,public gathering restriction,public transport restriction,targeted/planed(?) blcokdown and the implement of COVID test in each community…all in all,it was well-organized,thus made things in control,instead of/rather than“one size fits all”.Furthermore,there was a bright sport in this series measures and I’ll talk about it in the next writing.
As a resident,I could get a detail arrangement for the next day in every evening from the massages of relevant department of our district,that made me fell everything was in order and was good.However,on to parents,they were going to be crazy,because they just sent their kids back to school and then the school gave these “little troubles”back after half a month. Most other people,excepted some businessman and the people who in quarantine ,have a normal life as usual and were affected a little.Unfortunately, restaurants and shops has been hit several times by the pandemic,some of them didn’t survive after successional shutdown.Besides,our school had to suspend classes again.
