SHENZHEN residents who have traveled to Harbin in Heilongjiang Province from Sept. 7 or have been to medium- and high-risk areas are reminded to report to authorities, according to the Shenzhen Center for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC).

Harbin reported eight locally transmitted cases Wednesday.

Shenzhen CDC also reminded residents to avoid going to medium- and high-risk areas in Heilongjiang and Fujian provinces. If they must go to these regions for travel or business, they are required to report in advance to their employers and communities. Those who return from medium- and high-risk regions must take nucleic acid tests. Residents are required to report their travel history to authorities should they seek medical treatment for COVID-like symptoms such as fever, cough, fatigue, loss of smell or taste.
