Millions in China under COVID lockdown restrictions

China cities are conducting new rounds of COVID testing amid restrictions.

China's city of Shenzhen said it would implement COVID-19 restrictions on Monday. 

This comes as Chengdu eased its lockdown for its 21 million residents, announcing the extension of curbs. 

Across China, 65 million citizens in more than 30 cities have been placed under stringent measures, according to the Chinese business magazine Caixin.

Shenzhen officials vowed to "marshal all available resources, mobilize all forces, and take all possible measures" to stop the outbreaks.
