Two new locally transmitted COVID-19 cases have been confirmed in Shenzhen by the local Health Commission. In response to the news, local authorities have implemented a new rule for anyone leaving Shenzhen.
Those leaving the city must show proof of a negative nucleic acid test issued within 48 hours. The rule is in effect as of January 8, 2022.
The cases are a husband and wife, both aged 29, who live in the city’s Longgang district.
On January 6, 2022, the man had a nucleic acid test which returned positive on January 7.
His wife was then identified as a close contact and tested positive for COVID-19 on January 7.
Both cases have already been transferred to a local hospital for treatment.
