Several eastern Chinese areas in mass testing to curb new waves of infections

  • Parts of eastern China are running fresh rounds of mass COVID-19 testing, as the country faces new waves of infections while recovering from the impact of the spring outbreaks that hit Beijing and Shanghai.
  • China continues to demand local authorities detect and contain new infections as soon as possible in its "dynamic COVID zero" strategy, although it has warned against expanding strict curbs unnecessarily as it struggles to revive the economy.
  • Daily numbers of locally transmitted infections in mainland China increased to more than 300 over the weekend compared with a few dozens in late June.
  • There were no new deaths, keeping the nation's reported fatalities at 5,226.
