CHINESE LOCKDOWNS INCOMING
The capital of China is on high Covid-19 alert and plans to test some sections of the community after the city recorded 15 new community cases on Saturday.
Pang Xinghuo, deputy director of the Beijing Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, said undetected local transmissions started in the city about a week ago, and involved schools, tour groups and families.
“There were hidden transmissions for a week and the infected people came from different backgrounds and a wide range of activities,” Pang said.
