China will not relax its COVID measures but will keep improving them according to the changing epidemic situation and mutation of the virus, a government expert is cited as saying by the national health authority.
BEIJING, China – Chinese authorities stepped up COVID-19 lockdowns and other curbs to halt clusters from spreading as China’s case load soared to its highest since this year’s Shanghai lockdown, with Beijing and Zhengzhou seeing record daily cases.
The southern city of Guangzhou, the current epicenter of China’s COVID fight, reported 2,824 new local cases for November 10, the fourth day in which infections exceeded 2,000. All public transit in the district of 1.8 million people is also suspended, and mandatory PCR tests will be administered to “every household and every individual,” according to the statement.
Zhengzhou, the capital of central Henan province, reported 2,988 new local cases, more than doubling from a day earlier, in a widening outbreak that has thrown the local iPhone assembly plant of Apple supplier Foxconn into chaos in recent weeks.
