I’m sure it’s because of a student bringing in a US virus.

I thought I read somewhere last week it was because of Russians coming in.
They locked down the checkpoint station, and then the town.

Well, the Asian strain of this COVID-19 seems to be not particularly lethal. That’s the strain that’s on the West Coast of the US (Washington, California, etc.).

However, the strain on the East Coast likely came from Europe (Italy, Spain, England, etc.) - and seems to be much more fatal.

Just an observation. If the student returned from NYC, maybe it’s prudent to quarantine them. Not siding with CCP on this, but I wouldn’t want to introduce the two strains to each other - as there are already 30+ different strains, do we want another “super” COVID-19?
