		</div><p>China has ordered the lockdown of as many as 13 million people in neighbourhoods and workplaces in the northern city of Xi’an, the capital of Shaanxi Province, following a surge in coronavirus cases.</p>
<p>State media reported that city officials ordered all residents to stay at home unless they had a pressing reason to go out, and suspended all transport to and from the city apart from special cases.</p>
<p>The order was to take effect at midnight and last indefinitely.</p>
<p>One person from each household will be permitted out every two days to buy household necessities, the order said.</p>
<p>On Wednesday Xi’an reported 52 new locally transmitted cases of coronavirus over the previous 24 hours.</p>
<p>China has adopted strict pandemic control measures leading to frequent lockdowns, universal masking and mass testing.</p>
<p>Those measures have been stepped up in recent days in preparation for the start of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games on February 4.</p>
<p>The Xi’an restrictions are some of the harshest since China imposed a strict lockdown in 2020 on more than 11 million people in and around the central city of Wuhan after Covid-19 was first detected there in late 2019.</p>
