Heilongjiang clamps down on people returning from Russia
Authorities in China's northeastern province of Heilongjiang have established a hotline to reward citizens for reporting people crossing the border illegally, after a jump in the number of coronavirus cases imported from Russia.
According to a notice, people supplying verified information about illegal cross-border crimes will get 3,000 yuan. Those who apprehend any illegal migrants and hand them over to authorities will get 5,000 yuan.
Russia has become China's largest source of imported cases, with 409 cases found to have originated there. State-owned Global Times said in an editorial Chinese citizens should stay put in Russia and not try to return home.
Heilongjiang had 79 new cases of imported coronavirus on Monday. All were Chinese citizens travelling back from Russia, state media said on Tuesday.
