Nearly 30 million people are under lockdown across China as surging Covid-19 cases spark restrictions not seen since the start of the pandemic.

All 24 million residents of the northern province of Jilin are under quarantine orders.
Beijing correspondent Patrick Fok told Corin Dann it's the first time an entire province has undergone a lockdown since Wuhan in early 2020.
