High-risk areas are generally defined by units and buildings and cannot be expanded at will; other areas in the county where the high-risk areas are located are designated as low-risk areas.

Who will delineate high-risk areas? According to the latest "New Crown Pneumonia Epidemic Risk Area Delimitation and Control Plan", the delineation of high-risk areas and low-risk areas will be determined by expert groups organized by the prefecture-level and municipal-level epidemic prevention and control command departments based on the risk of epidemic spread.
