Today, Saturday, China announced the largest daily death toll from Covid-19 infections since last May, with closures imposed in some cities.
Today, China announced that it had recorded 450 local injuries, a day after it had recorded 432 injuries. Most injuries are asymptomatic.
The rise in infections led to the imposition of new restrictions this week in several parts of the country.
And the authorities of Beihai City, which is located within the province of Guangxi, announced today, Saturday, the imposition of closures in two areas with a population of more than 800,000 people.
“Currently, the epidemic prevention and control conditions in Beihai City are acute and complex, and the risks of hidden outbreaks in the community are relatively high,” said a note in which the government announced the restrictions.
The authorities of Lanzhou, the capital of the northwestern Gansu Province, ordered its 4.4 million residents to stay in their homes from Wednesday, and Friday imposed a closure in an area within Anhui Province.
This week, Wugang City, a steel industry hub in central Henan Province, announced a three-day lockdown after only one case of COVID-19 was reported.
