Wuhan, where the global COVID-19 pandemic first originated, has commanded officials to arrange to test its entire 11 million population after it announced new infections for the first time since its lockdown was lifted, according to state media reports.
All districts in the city have been ordered to submit a plan which should lay out how they will plan within ten days to conduct testing of everyone under their purview, told a document cited by local media reports as being released by Wuhan’s anti-virus department. The plan should prioritize the testing of vulnerable groups and areas like residential compounds, the document said.
Six locally transmitted cases, reported on May 10 and 11, were found in people already under quarantine who were asymptomatic before testing positive, according to the local government. All six cases emerged from a single residential compound and were the first new infections found in Wuhan since its lockdown was lifted on April 8
