Zhongshan, in South China's Guangdong Province, announced that it would launch mass nucleic acid testing for COVID-19 and restrict transportation on Thursday after one positive case was found to be related to the recent small-scale outbreak at an international airport in Nanjing, East China's Jiangsu Province.
Starting on Friday, a certificate with negative nucleic acid test results taken within 48 hours is required for departure from the airport and at railway and highway stations in the city.
Zhongshan authorities reported one COVID-19 asymptomatic patient on Thursday, who had flown to Nanjing Lukou International Airport on July 15, and left Nanjing from the airport on Monday.
The 23-year-old female was found to be infected with the virus on Thursday during the testing that Zhongshan government had organized for people with a history of travel to epidemic affected regions in China.
