Wuhan plunged back into lockdown almost three years after first Covid case with 800k in quarantine amid spike in cases

CHINA has plunged 800,000 people in Wuhan back into lockdown as the Communist nation continues its brutal “Covid Zero” policies. Beijing is taking a no-tolerance approach to the virus – enforcing a lockdown in the city after just 20 to 25 new infections a day this week. ReutersPeople in protective suits walk outside a hotel in Wuhan[/caption] Chinese leader Xi Jinping – who was this week made “Emperor for Life” – is using what has been dubbed as the “world’s strictest lockdown” to control his citizens. Wuhan was the site of the world’s first Covid outbreak – sounding the alarm to the World Health Organisation (WHO) on December 31, 2019. And that then spiralled into a global pandemic that has so far killed more than 6.5million people and infected 635million. But while the rest of the world appears to be attempting to move on from Covid, China continues to use brutal policies to stop the virus.
