China: Officials downgrade all areas of Inner Mongolia Region to low risk as of June 27 /update 2
Officials in China downgrade all areas of Erenhot, Inner Mongolia Region, to low risk as of June 27. Lingering disruptions possible.
Event
Officials in Inner Mongolia Region have downgraded the last remaining high-risk areas in Erenhot to low-risk as of June 27. Officials previously designated the Beijiang, Dongcheng, Erren, Hohe, Nanyuan, Wulan, Xicheng, and Xilin communities in Erenhot as high risk with tighter curbs due to COVID-19 activity. Authorities will gradually lift localized measures such as stay-at-home orders, and nonessential business closures in the affected locations. Movement controls could recur or occur in communities if new COVID-19 cases emerge. Strict measures typically last at least two weeks from the date of the most recent confirmed community case.
Lingering business and transport disruptions are possible as businesses and recreational facilities gradually reopen in the affected areas of Erenhot. Other provincial and municipal governments will likely withdraw COVID-19 testing and/or quarantine rules for those with recent travel history to the affected areas of Erenhot.
Erenhot is approximately 291 km (180 miles) north of Hohhot.
Advice
Strictly heed the instructions of authorities. Avoid all nonessential operations in areas impacted by travel controls. Confirm appointments. Remain cooperative if approached and questioned by law enforcement officers.
