China is on red alert again.
New cases of coronavirus have re-emerged in the north-eastern part of the country, which borders Russia and North Korea to cause grave concern.
The most recent 34 cases were in the province of Jilin, where its two main cities of Shulan and Jilin City have been placed under renewed lockdown – after an initial cluster that appeared in Shulan on May 11 spilled over to Jilin.
The said cluster was linked to a local woman with no known overseas travel history or previous exposure to the virus, re-igniting alarm over its unknown origin.
In neighboring Liaoning, the 8.3 million people in the capital Shenyang also faced renewed restrictions after three new cases were found also on May 11, Channel News Asia reported.
The outbreaks in these two provinces came after Mudanjiang, a city in another neighboring province, Heilongjiang, saw a spate of new cases – and on April 26, the provincial government acted to impose lockdown measures.
Enjoy a very local version of the popular song “Summer Nights” taken from the hit movie “Grease” (1978) sung by John Trabotak (Alvin Oon) & Olivia Roti John (Jackie Pereira):
