Harbin added that it would lock down residential units where confirmed and asymptomatic coronavirus cases are found for 14 days. “If the border were to be reopened next week as previously announced, then our city will be stuck with this partial lockdown for the rest of the year.” Chinese ambassador to Russia Zhang Hanhui told state television on April 7 that there were 160,000 Chinese nationals in Russia.
The comments followed concerns that Africans in the economic hub were being mistreated and harassed amid fears that the coronavirus could spread from imported cases.
