The measures were taken after the city of 61 lakh people recorded 132 virus infections as of the morning of September 5, 28 more than the day before. There is a chance that production and the economy may be disrupted as Guiyang is home to activities for automakers, including Geely Automobile Holdings and the contemporary Amperex Technology Company. Growth is being hampered by China's strict COVID policy, which still includes lockdowns, mandatory quarantines and more effectively. Restricted borders three years after the outbreak began. According to a notification from the local government, the lockdown will be enforced for four days until the end of September 8 in almost all cities in six of Guiyang's 10 districts. The authorities announced that all taxi services would be banned and those living in the affected areas would be allowed to step out of their homes only for COVID tests.

A lockdown in Guiyang came as 21 million people in Chengdu, the capital of nearby Sichuan province, were given an extension of their stay-at-home orders until Wednesday as mass testing continued. Shenzhen, the center of technology in the south, is still subject to movement restrictions.
