CHINA-COVID PANDEMIC: RISE IN COVID INFECTIONS IN CHINA CAUSES SERIOUS CONCERN
|
Caixin (November 4) reported that local Covid-19 outbreaks in the Chinese mainland have spread to 19 out of
31 provincial-level regions, the widest distribution nationwide since the Wuhan outbreak early last year, as
the number of infections mostly linked to trips in northern China since mid-October continues to grow. It said
as of November 3, China had recorded more than 700 locally transmitted infections in dozens of cities in 19
province-level regions since October 17 when Xi’an, capital of Shaanxi province, confirmed two cases in a
group of eight who had visited Inner Mongolia and Gansu province. The widest spread prior to this began in
Nanjing on July 20 before reaching 16 provinces in a month.
