A third Chinese city has been subject to strict lockdowns and flight cancellations due to a COVID-19 outbreak, raising the number of people confined to their homes in China to 20 million.
The lockdown of Anyang, which is home to 5 and a half million people, was announced after two cases of the Omicron variant were reported.
These lockdowns are the broadest since the shutting of Wuhan and nearby provinces in early 2020 at the start of the pandemic.
