On January 26, Shantou City's new coronavirus-infected pneumonia epidemic headquarters announced that from 2 p.m. on the same day, the city's operating passenger cars, urban buses, taxis, and ferries would be suspended, and vehicles, ships, or people will be prohibited from entering Shantou from the early morning of the next day except for the permitted emergency, special, and material support needs. The main line of the expressway passing through the Shantou City area can pass normally, and most of the inter-county passages in the city are closed. [2] In addition, strictly check, screen, and persuade people who enter Shantou from Shantou Station and Chaoyang Station to return. A few hours after the release of the relevant announcement, the Shantou Novel Coronavirus Infected Pneumonia Epidemic Headquarters issued another announcement at 1 p.m. on the same day, canceling the city closure arrangement and instead strengthening the epidemic monitoring and prevention and control of mobile personnel, but the entry and exit of vehicles, ships, personnel, and materials would not be restricted. [3] At 2:00 p.m. on the same day, the Office of the Prevention and Control Headquarters for the Prevention and Control of Pneumonia Infected by the New Coronavirus in Guangdong Province issued a notice, deciding to implement control measures for people entering public places to wear masks within the territory of the province. People who do not wear masks to enter the venue should be dissuaded, and those who do not listen to the dissuasion should report to the relevant competent authorities in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, and the relevant competent authorities will deal with them according to their respective responsibilities. Obstructing emergency response personnel from performing their duties shall be subject to administrative punishment and even criminal responsibility according to law. [4] Following the release of the "Guidelines for the Use of Pneumonia Masks to Prevent Novel Coronavirus Infection" by the National Health Commission, a revised version of the circular was issued on February 5. [5] Various cultural performances and cultural activities originally scheduled to be held in Chaozhou during the Spring Festival and Lantern Festival had been suspended, and all kinds of public cultural and sports venues at all levels in Chaozhou City had been temporarily closed and related activities had been cancelled. [6]

In late January 2020, when the COVID-19 epidemic continued and began to spread to other provinces and cities in the People’s Republic of China, a reporter from the news team on Chinese cable television visited the Guangzhou Flower Market that opened before the Lunar New Year. [7] Among them, a group of middle-aged men and women showed that they were not worried about the epidemic. The two "aunts" danced to the camera and shouted in Cantonese, "Don't be surprised! There is a government, there is a government, don't be surprised!" [8] The reporter asked if they don't even need to wear masks. The woman replied, "Don't wear it! Be healthy! We have today every year! Trust the government!". [7] Many netizens ridiculed their remarks. [9] Fragments and screenshots of this visit were made into stickers and spread widely, resulting in many remaps. [10]

The COVID-19 pandemic in Macau was a part of the ongoing worldwide pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. The first known case of the disease in the special administrative region of China was confirmed on 22 January 2020. The city saw nine more cases by 4 February, but no more cases until 15 March, when imported cases began to appear. Stringent government measures have included the 15-day closure of all 81 casinos in the territory in February 2020; in addition, effective 25 March, the territory disallowed connecting flights at its airport as well as entry by all non-residents, and from 6 April, the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge was closed to public transport and most other traffic.

The COVID-19 pandemic in Hubei, part of the global COVID-19 pandemic, was the first identified outbreak of the pandemic, appearing as a cluster of mysterious pneumonia in Wuhan, the provincial capital of Hubei, China. A Wuhan hospital notified the local center for disease control and prevention (CDC) and health commissions on December 27, 2019. On December 31, Wuhan CDC admitted that there was a cluster of unknown pneumonia cases related to the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market after the unverified documents appeared on the Internet. The outbreak soon drew nationwide attention, with the National Health Commission (NHC) in Beijing sending medical experts to Wuhan the next day. On January 8, a new coronavirus was identified as the cause of the pneumonia. The sequence of the virus was soon published on an open-access database. Measures taken by China have been controversial. They were praised by the World Health Organization (WHO) for improvements over SARS-CoV-2 responses, but maligned by many in the international community for being slow to publicly disclose key facts or deceptive about the outbreak and for aggressively censoring information related to the outbreak and public discontent from citizens online.
