For weeks, China fought hard against the corona virus. Whole cities were cordoned off, curfews were imposed and hospitals were pounded out of the ground. To contain the virus, the medical personnel worked to the point of total exhaustion. But China’s struggle appears to be successful. For the first time this week, no new infections had been reported in the country itself.

But China hardly seems to be calming down now that a new danger threatens: With the growing number of returnees, new cases are being imported.

Cases brought in from abroad do not only exist on mainland China. Again “Daily scoreboard” writes, the number of newly infected people in Hong Kong rose by 25 in the middle of the week – more than ever before on a day before. Many of them may have come from abroad.

In Singapore, too, all travelers are therefore put in quarantine for fear. Even foreigners with a work permit must obtain a permit before they enter the country – they cannot enter without it. (bra)
