China announces travel restrictions for Zhangjiakou, the suburb of Beijing where the 2022 Winter Olympics will be held.

Less than 24 hours after North China's Tianjin reported the Chinese mainland's first case of an imported infection of the Omicron coronavirus variant on Monday night, Guangzhou, capital of South China's Guangdong Province, reported a new imported case infected with the Omicron strain on Tuesday as the country has been battling sporadic outbreaks that weigh on its major manufacturing hubs.

Three places including a location for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games have issued notices to encourage citizens and workers to celebrate the upcoming Spring Festival in the areas where they work in order to prevent the resurgence of COVID-19. Experts called for local governments to avoid a one-size-fits-all approach, and take COVID-19 prevention measures accordingly, to balance virus prevention and guarantee people’s lives.

A work group dispatched by the State Council has urged Manzhouli, a land port city in North China's Inner Mongolia - epicenter of this round of epidemic resurgence where 449 confirmed COVID-19 infections were registered - to further tighten up epidemic control measures and guard the gateway of the country.

Experts called for an intensified effort to have elderly people vaccinated as the latest COVID-19 epidemic resurgence that started from Manzhouli of North China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region has already affected four other provincial regions including Beijing, with infections surpassing 400.
