Chinese provinces impose curbs, quarantines on people from Beijing

Provinces and cities elsewhere in China are responding to the outbreak of coronavirus in the capital. The semi-autonomous Chinese territory of Macau has just announced a 14-day mandatory quarantine for all people who have been in Beijing in the past two weeks. The measure will come into effect at 12 noon local time (04:00 GMT). Heilongjiang province in the northeast has introduced a 21-day quarantine for anyone recently arrived from Beijing's medium and high-risk areas.
