Chinese government will spray disinfectant on an entire CITY tonight

Millions of Chinese people have been ordered to stay in their homes tonight as health bosses try to disinfect an entire city ravaged by coronavirus.

04:07:23 UT - Sun (14 aq 47'11") square Vesta (16 ta 20'38")
16:37:48 UT - Hygiea (27 ta 46'25") quincunx Galactic Center (27 sa 7'26")

Trucks will drive around spraying disinfectant through the streets of Huangshi, a city of 2.7million in Hubei province that neighbours the outbreak's epicentre, Wuhan.
 
They will target roads, shops, public parks, rubbish bins, public toilets, markets, supermarkets, hospitals, schools, buses, taxis and office buildings while the streets are empty.

Residents have been asked to close their doors and windows by 9pm and refrain from going out while the entire city is sanitised.

The drastic measure comes after scientists discovered the killer virus is more contagious than previously thought.

A simple cough or sneeze is enough to spread the disease and it can live on inanimate objects, such as door handles, for short periods of time.

The rapidly escalating epidemic has so far killed 362 people and infected more than 17,450 worldwide, including in the UK, US, France, Canada and Australia.

According to The Times, a public notice from Huangshi's local government read: 'Please close doors and windows by 9pm, and please refrain from going out, but take proper self-protective measures and co-operate with workers who are doing the disinfection work.'

It comes after travel restrictions were imposed on Wenzhou, the first major city outwith Hubei to see such a ban.

Wenzhou, home to more than 9million people, has seen 291 coronavirus cases so far and officials have ordered citizens to stay at home except for grocery shopping trips.
