It is uncertain whether the measures will be implemented nationwide.
More regions in East China, including Ninghai and Qingtian in Zhejiang Province, and Ganzhou and Ji'an in Jiangxi Province, issued notices requiring citizens to get vaccinated as quickly as they can and said people who are not vaccinated will in general not be allowed to enter into public venues including schools and nursing houses, starting from late July.
