Beijing: China’s southern Guangzhou city announced plans on Thursday to build separate housing facilities for some 250,000 people to deal with rising cases of the coronavirus. This announcement has been made at a time when the national government is trying to reduce the effect of anti-epidemic measures due to which millions of people are imprisoned in their homes. The epidemic started spreading in Guangzhou city with a population of about 13 million since the beginning of October and 9,680 new cases of infection have been registered in the last 24 hours.
This is about 40 percent of the 23,276 cases of Kovid-19 across the country. The number of infections in China is lower than in the US and other major countries, but the ruling Communist Party is trying to isolate every patient. The repeated imposition of restrictions on areas, schools and businesses is fueling public anger and clashes with health workers.
