The city of Manzhouli in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region is ready to conduct a second round of coronavirus tests starting on Friday afternoon for more than 200,000 residents across the city, the local government said.

Based on the current situation, it is hoped the testing campaign will further help limit the spread of the coronavirus by identifying people in the incubation period of the infection, according to the city's epidemic prevention and control headquarters.

The headquarters also urged residents to actively cooperate with the sample collection process.

Residents are required to wear masks and stay more than 1 meter distance from other and avoid gatherings, the headquarters said.

There were no new COVID-19 cases on Friday, the city's health commission said.

As of Friday, the city had reported 11 local confirmed cases, two suspected cases and one asymptomatic case since two confirmed cases were reported on Saturday.
