The province has reported new local cases for four consecutive days since this new outbreak of COVID-19 was discovered on Sunday.

Gaocheng district in Shijiazhuang became a high-risk area for COVID-19 infection, the only such designation on the Chinese mainland, as the province adopted stricter measures to control the virus, including mass testing and suspending classes.

Shijiazhuang, the provincial capital, has started citywide testing of all of its 10.39 million residents on Wednesday.

Experts from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Health Commission have arrived in Shijiazhuang city and Xingtai city to curb the latest outbreak.
