All buses in Changji, Xinjiang stopped running. What happened?

In order to prevent more serious consequences, all buses in Changji, Xinjiang were stopped because of the COVID-19 epidemic.

July 17, 2020 According to the latest report of the Health and Wellness Committee of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, from 0: 00 on July 16 to 0: 00 on July 17 on July 12, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (including Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps) reported 5 newly confirmed cases of COVID-19, and 8 cases of asymptomatic infection, all of which were Urumqi cases. The newly confirmed cases and asymptomatic infected persons are under centralized medical observation.

On July 7, 2020 17, Xinjiang Changji Public Transport Group issued an announcement. The general meaning of the announcement is that due to the epidemic, Changji Bus Group will suspend all bus operations from now on, and all front-line employees have been arranged for nucleic acid testing. The company will thoroughly disinfect all vehicles every day during the suspension of operation in order to better serve passengers after the resumption of operation.

Extended data:

Xinjiang is located on the border of China and borders many countries, such as Russia, Kazakhstan, India and Afghanistan. The epidemic situation in India is the most serious, and the distance between the two countries is close, so it is easy to import overseas cases, leading to cross-infection.

Faced with this situation, the local government immediately took action and implemented corresponding measures, such as stopping the subway 1 line, canceling airport flights and stopping public transportation. On the one hand, these measures have well controlled the flow of people, and will not expand the scope of the epidemic again, on the other hand, they can greatly reduce the number of infected people.
