Panic buying among Beijing residents as Shanghai-style lockdown looms

베이징 대규모 코로나 검사 시행... 상하이식 봉쇄 우려 시민들 사재기 급증 Driven by fears of a Shanghai-style lockdown, Beijing residents started panic-buying food and other necessities. Authorities are now mass-testing people in the Chinese capital, which is reporting fewer than 20 cases a day. Kim Ji-yeon has the latest. Beijing residents are panic buying food and medical supplies, as fears mount that a Shanghai-style city-wide lockdown could be imposed on the Chinese capital. Beijing reported 19 new coronavirus infections on Monday... which is low by global standards but could still trigger further measures, including lockdowns... in line with China's commitment to its zero-COVID policy. It would depend on the results of mass virus testing in its largest district of Chaoyang... of three-and-a-half million residents and workers... who have been ordered to take tests three times this week. Already, more than a dozen residential buildings were put under a lockdown in Chaoyang, an affluent downtown area home to embassies and international businesses. "(What happened in Shanghai) is understandable, that's such a big city, even though the government made great efforts, there must have been something that was less than satisfactory. It's okay as long as they made corrections." Shanghai has seen more than 400-thousand COVID-19 cases since late March, resulting nearly 140 deaths. Residents in China's most populous city have took to social media to vent their discontent as they suffered from major food shortages and delivery delays as the city's lockdowns enter their fourth week. In Beijing, photos and videos across social media showed empty shelves at some stores, as shoppers appeared to ignore assurances that the city would not suffer the same fate as Shanghai. Some of the draconian lockdown measures in Shanghai include placing electronic door alarms, forcibly evacuating people from homes to carry out disinfection procedures and setting up green barricades outside homes without prior warning.
