The outbreak is a local outbreak,

All are involved in freight logistics practitioners

According to the relevant announcements of the three cities, the source of the epidemic or the main spread of personnel are involved in freight logistics practitioners, according to rough statistics, the three cities in the past three weeks the cumulative number of infected people has exceeded hundreds.

The round of epidemic prevention and control in Taiyuan City began on the 3rd of this month, after the discovery of 4 cases of positive nucleic acid initial screening infection, the local first time to start 39 epidemic prevention and control checkpoints, 79 sealing and control points. However, on the 13th, a local epidemic broke out in a courier distribution center in Qingxu County, Taiyuan City, adding 35 new cases of positive infection, which has now affected a total of 65 people in 4 cities, including couriers, truck drivers, sorters, etc., which is the first sudden cluster of epidemics in the postal and express industry in Shanxi Province.

The outbreak in Xi'an began on the 2nd of this month, and after the discovery of positive COVID-19 infections imported from outside the province, it was quickly traced back to the source.
