Lhasa [Tibet], August 18 (ANI): The zero-Covid policy imposed in Xinjiang and Tibet by Chinese President Xi Jinping has created widespread unrest, who are anxious about their livelihoods, as both regions are underdeveloped economically.
The lockdown of Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, has been extended until August 18, following an initial three-day lockdown announcement on August 8 amid a surge in COVID-19 cases, reported Tibet Press.
Additionally, the Ngari Prefecture of Tibet has been locked down since August 11, and transportation between Shigatse, Lhasa, and Ngari Prefecture has been suspended.
Famous tourist attractions across Tibet such as Potala Palace, Norbulingka, Tsaparang, and the Tibetan Museu have also been closed to the public.
According to the media reports, people in the area have been anxious about their livelihoods as mass COVID tests are taking place. They have been sealed off inside the neighbourhood doing COVID-19 tests every day or night.
