Chinese police wearing protective suits stop people from leaving their residential areas as COVID-19 cases surge in Beijing.

The footage shows residents complaining to local officials and asking to talk directly to those in charge of coronavirus regulations.

The Chinese government has put several cities under lockdown and reimposed a wide range of strict measures as part of its "zero-COVID" policy. Among them are mass testing, and quarantines for anyone suspected of having come into contact with someone infected.

Chinese National Health Commission (NHC) reported 31,444 COVID cases, including 1,648 cases in Beijing on Wednesday (November 23), surpassing the previous peak of 29,317 recorded on April 13 during Shanghai's months-long lockdown.

As of 3 pm on Nov 24, the total number of infected people in Beijing has reached 10,682 and our deaths have been reported in Beijing.

Xu Hejian, a spokesman for the Beijing municipal government, said the government will implement the strategy of quick lockdown and quick lift, and try to set one day and no more than three days of lockdown for COVID-related areas.

According to the Beijing government, areas with more cases should further reduce social activities and reduce inter-district mobility.
