A major Chinese city has adopted draconian quarantine measures against the novel coronavirus after a new outbreak was detected there.
More than 70 people have been infected and over 4,000 are being tested in Harbin after the virus was believed to be 'imported' into the city by a student who had returned from New York, according to media reports.
Officials have banned gatherings and ordered communities to closely monitor non-local visitors and vehicles in the city of around 10 million.
Checkpoints have been installed at the airport and train stations, to screen those coming from elsewhere......
Before entering any public facilities and residential complexes, people must use a government-approved health app to prove they don't have the virus, have their temperature taken and wear a face mask, the notice says.
Residents must follow social-distancing measures. Weddings, funerals, public performances and conferences are banned.

The chinese must be stupid. Surely they’ve figured out by now that this is just the flu.
I’m sure it’s because of a student bringing in a US virus.
This will aid the China-friendly prog agenda here in the US.
.
Bravo! Well Said
And NEVER MIND that the COMMUNISTS propaganda that would perhaps want to make this a reverse blame the US
WTF...
CCP misdirecting the narrative back to this being a US problem. Thanks, commies. Have you taken Bat Noodle Soup off the menu yet?
300 miles NW of Vladivostok.
......... So .... Let me get this straight ...... China is blaming the spread of a COVID-19 Virus breakout in a Chinese city located in the Country of China where the COVID-19 Virus originated .... On a student returning from NY????
.
Yet due to China’s superior health care, only 200 cases and 1 death.
That’s what the Lame Stream Media will report based on ChiCom data at least.
I’m looking much closer at ever product I buy. If it says China on it, no effing sale!
You need to direct that vehemence towards the chicoms.
They’re the ones shutting down a city of 10 million just because of a few old people dying of the flu.
You’d think the Chicoms would WELCOME the useless eaters departing the mortal coil or something...fewer pensioners is always a welcome thing to governments.
Chicoms are an ungrateful bunch apparently and looking a gift horse in the mouth...
Perhaps you should set them straight?
I am sure the CIA engineered a new strain among the foreign students in New York City, under cover of the medical mayhem there. /sarc
Those damn Staten Islanders shipping their Chicom student back to Harbin.
I guess the ChiComs do have to support their propaganda line that the US is responsible for the virus.
I think you have the gist of it.....
In a sane world, our media would laugh at this or express anger at the insinuation that a student from NY caused the outbreak. If China had not lied about this and then unleashed it upon the world even as they took steps to isolate Wuhan from their own country we would not be having that conversation!!!!!!!!!!
It is possible I suppose, but in the case of China who has been dishonest about this pandemic from the outset who are you going to believe?
This is the problem with allowing continued international travel at the moment because there is no foolproof way to test at an airport gate given that carriers of the virus are likely asymptomatic short of doing full-on testing of passengers in isolation prior to them entering the airport.
A case of what goes around comes around.
STD?
STD?
Agreed.
