Media said today, Tuesday, that China has tightened its preventive measures around the city of "Hubei" near Beijing, as it did in Wuhan when the Corona( known also as COVID-19) pandemic broke in the city last year.

The Chinese government seeks to put the disease under control after the significant increase of new infections per day.

In addition to closing the infected area, preventing entry to and exit from it, and doubling the ongoing health tests on residents, the Singapore Business Times said, in order to face this largest increase in the number of daily infections in 5 months.

Beijing is conducting a comprehensive examination of the residents of confirmed outposts, isolating the infected people and transporting them by buses to quarantine places.

The Chinese TV channel "CCTV" stated on its page on  "Twitter" that more than 20 thousand people belonging to 12 villages in Gauching District, in Shijiazhuang, north of Hubei Province, the most affected, have been transferred to a quarantine center after a high the number of casualties in recent days.

On the other hand, the French television channel France TV said,  that the infected persons have been transferred to quarantine because self-isolation in homes helps the virus spread according to the Chinese authorities."

The National Health Committee in China announced that last Sunday, there were 69 new cases of Coronavirus, most of them in "Hubei".

The Chinese authorities said today, Tuesday,  that the local authorities in the  Chinese city of Langfang, have launched a free and comprehensive Coronavirus detection test, after discovering one case of Coronavirus, indicating a comprehensive quarantine of the city’s residents for a whole week.

As of today, Tuesday, the free PCR test will begin for all residents across the city. The test will continue from January 12 to 14," the city government said in a statement.

The authorities also asked people not to gather unnecessarily, and to monitor their health at home for seven days.
