Swimming pools and gyms have been closed down in the Chinese capital of Beijing amid concerns that the country is gripped by a second wave of coronavirus.
This latest move comes just a matter of days after the government quarantined a city not far from the border with Russia in China's north west.
As well as that city - which is home to 10 million people -the province of Shaanxi reported that seven new cases had been imported into the country. All of the people that had contracted the virus in Shaanxi had recently returned home from Russia.
Foreign nationals have been banned from entering the country since March 28. Those who returned, despite the chance they could catch the virus, arrived on a flight from Moscow that was diverted away from Beijing.
Of the people who were on that flight, 30 cases have so far been confirmed with eight cases of asymptomatic infection, according to the provincial health commission.
Once again, people returning into China have been ordered to quarantine, and stringent border checks have also been reintroduced.
Health clubs, gyms, and swimming pools have also been asked to close their doors because of the fears that a second wave of the virus could be even more destructive and dangerous than the first.
These latest measures come as China tries to reopen the economy, with the worst of the country's crisis thought to have subsided.
China was the epicentre of the virus when it began to spread in late December last year. So far, the Chinese government has said the total number of confirmed cases in the country is now 82,816.
The death toll remains at 4,632, and no new deaths were recorded on 24 April.
The news coming out of China will be being watched carefully around the globes as, because China was the original epicentre, they are thought to be some time ahead of most places in the path of the virus development.
That means that their actions will be scrutinised as other countries consider whether or not to relax or remove the restrictions of their own lockdowns.
Some countries, including Donald Trump's United States, have accused the World Health Organisation (WHO) of colluding with the Chinese government to downplay the death toll.
Also, the UK government recently stopped including China's figures in their comparison data to show where Britain is up to with the virus.
In China, face masks and temperature checks are also mandatory. People must also use a government health app before entering any public facilities.
