Coronavirus: Here's what China's cities look like during the outbreak
- Published
The coronavirus outbreak has forced many regions in China into lockdown. This puts restrictions on people's ability to move around. In the Chinese capital of Beijing, many are staying indoors. Parts of the city, which is home to about 20 million people, have become deserted.
Many areas in Beijing which are usually very busy are now empty, but some people are still travelling around the city.
The usually bustling Hongkou district in Shanghai, which is China’s biggest city by population, is now much quieter.
Lots of people in China have been wearing face masks to protect themselves from infection. This woman has even given one to her dog!
There have been some restrictions on transport in parts of China. Public transport is usually used by lots of people, but the virus outbreak has led to fewer travellers in some places.
Some people are finding ways to enjoy themselves despite parts of the country being under lockdown. These men are having some fun in the snow.
