Is the latest news about Shenyang’s lockdown in 2022 true? Lock down the city on the 24th? Lock down the city for 7 days?

Due to the recent severe domestic epidemic in my country, in order to prevent and control the epidemic, many places have implemented zero-social control, and all communities in the city will be closed. Shenyang, Liaoning is one of them, but it has been over-interpreted by some people. So is the latest news about the 2022 Shenyang lockdown true? The city will be closed on March 24? Lock down the city for 7 days? In response to these questions, Dongguan Feng Chao's editor explains as follows:

1. Is the latest news about the 2022 Shenyang lockdown true?

The latest news about the lockdown in Shenyang is fake. However, due to the complexity of this round of local epidemic in Shenyang, 45 positive cases were found in the second round of nucleic acid testing for all residents. For the needs of epidemic prevention and control, closed management was implemented in residential communities and villages throughout the city, and subway, tram and regular bus operations were suspended. Below is Dongguan Feng Chao's summary of Shenyang's latest epidemic control policies:

1. Regulations on the Control of Personnel in Epidemic Situations in Shenyang

First, all residential communities and villages in the city will be under closed management, and residents must hold a negative nucleic acid test certificate within 48 hours and a "Resident Entry and Exit Pass" to enter and exit residential communities and villages. The implementation plan of the "Resident Entry and Exit Pass" will be determined by the epidemic prevention and control headquarters of each district, county (city), and the community and village committees will be responsible for processing it for residents in their jurisdiction.

Second: Each community should strengthen the management of the entrances to residential areas, and strictly implement the inspection of travel codes, health codes, negative nucleic acid test certificates within 48 hours, or nucleic acid sampling certificates (records) within 24 hours.

2. The latest travel regulations for Shenyang epidemic

All people in the city are not allowed to leave Shenyang unless necessary. If there are special reasons to leave Shenyang, they must hold a negative nucleic acid test certificate within 24 hours to leave and register with their unit or community in advance.

3. Regulations on traffic suspension due to epidemic situation in Shenyang

Except for transportation to ensure the operation of the city, the operation of subways, trams and regular buses in the entire city has been suspended. Taxis and online-hailing rides will not stop operating. Those who need to take public transportation due to special circumstances such as medical treatment, as well as passengers coming to (or returning to) Shenyang from the airport, train station, etc., can choose to take taxis and online-hailing rides. When riding, they need to provide a negative nucleic acid test certificate within 48 hours.

2. Will Shenyang be closed on March 24, 2022?

Shenyang will not be locked down on the 24th. However, according to the latest notice issued by the Shenyang Municipal COVID-19 Prevention and Control Command, the fourth, fifth and sixth rounds of nucleic acid testing for all residents will be carried out across the city from March 24 to 30. Except for transportation to ensure the operation of the city, the operation of subways, trams and regular buses in the entire city has been suspended. Taxis and online-hailing vehicles will not stop operating. Citizens returning to Shenyang can take taxis and online-hailing vehicles and provide a 48-hour negative nucleic acid test certificate to come to Shenyang. Therefore, this notice caused some misunderstanding among local residents, who thought that the city was going to be closed. In fact, this is not the case. Taxis and online ride-hailing services are still operating locally, so those who want to go to Shenyang can still go.

3. Will Shenyang be closed for 7 days in 2022?

Shenyang did not lock down the city for 7 days. Instead, three nucleic acid tests were conducted from March 23 to 30. In order to facilitate control, all people in the city completed each round of nucleic acid testing in accordance with the requirement of mandatory testing for all. Citizens are requested to pay close attention to the nucleic acid testing time in this area, participate in nucleic acid testing in different time periods according to the notification of the street (township), community (village committee) where they are located, and take personal protection measures, and return to their residence immediately after the test is completed.

In general, the latest news about the lockdown of Shenyang in 2022 is not true. If you want to go to Shenyang now, you can still go. You can book an online taxi after getting off the plane or high-speed rail, but you need to provide a 48-hour negative nucleic acid test certificate before leaving the station. In addition, the news that Shenyang was locked down on March 24 was not true. The seven-day lockdown only required three nucleic acid tests to be completed within seven days. During the epidemic, everyone should not believe or spread rumors.
