- Wuhan's district of Jiangxia, with over 900,000 residents
- its main urban areas must enter a three-day restriction from Wednesday
- authorities will ban many large group events and dining at restaurants, close various public entertainment venues, agricultural product marketplaces and small clinics and suspend bus and subway services.
- urged residents not to leave the area during the three days

The order came quickly after Jiangxia authorities said late on Tuesday they had detected two cases during regular testing drives and found another two from the screening of individuals who came in close contact with infection.
