The authorities of the Xinjiang region, in northwest China, have announced the suspension of railway traffic from the area after detecting 92 cases of coronavirus in the last day and weeks after the region came out of its last confinement.
Zhu Dagang, a senior official from Urumqi, the capital of the region, explained that “due to the current epidemiological situation, the departure of all passenger trains from Xinjiang is prohibited” and confirmed that these measures will be modified according to the development of the situation.
In this sense, he has indicated that the circulation of buses between provinces has also been suspended. In addition, flights taking off from the region may not have an occupancy of more than 75 percent.
Likewise, the inhabitants of Urumqi are prohibited from leaving the city but he has stressed that the cases of those who need to move to Beijing, the Chinese capital, will be analyzed.
