CNA – China raced yesterday to stamp out COVID-19 outbreaks in the tourist hubs of Tibet and Hainan, with the authorities launching more rounds of mass testing and closing venues to contain the highly transmissible Omicron variant.
Mainland China reported 828 new domestically transmitted cases across more than a dozen provinces and regions for Monday, with over half of them in Hainan, a highly popular tourist destination, official data showed on Tuesday.
Tibet, which until now had reported only one symptomatic case since the pandemic started more than two years ago, also reported cases.
