With less than one hundred days to go for the Beijing Winter Olympics, China is maximising its efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19, with new locally-transmitted cases at a six-week high.
The Chinese mainland reported 78 new confirmed COVID-19 cases on Saturday, with 59 locally transmitted. China has so far reported 97,080 total infections and 4,626 deaths from COVID-19.
As part of its zero-COVID policy, China has shut down multiple cities, stopped trains and quarantined all of its passengers after finding out that only a single one can been in contact with a COVID-19 patient, and restricted public transport in its capital of Beijing. In a border city near Mongolia, six officials were punished for their “slack response” and “ineffective management” after a COVID-19 outbreak emerged on October 18.
As a result of these heavy-handed actions, Chinese officials are projecting confidence that they can stop the virus in its tracks. China's top epidemiologist Zhong Nanshan said the latest resurgence of COVID-19 infections would be contained within a month, Xinhua reported.
