China detects new hotspots for Corona virus.. a ”Russian breakthrough”
On Saturday, Chinese authorities announced they had detected new epidemiological hotspots for the Corona virus in two additional regions.
The first is in a city of 31 million people, the most serious outbreak of the virus seen since the Asian giant’s months, she said.
The National Health Commission said that 55 new cases of the virus had been registered in Fujian Province and Chongqing Municipality, adding the two regions to the capital Beijing and four other provinces where cases of the coronavirus Delta were reported.
“The main variable currently on display is the Delta, which presents an even greater challenge in terms of prevention and control,” National Health Commission spokesman Mi Feng told reporters.
Delta, which appeared at Nanjing airport this month to nine employees cleaning the cabin of a Russian-supplied airliner, quickly spread to other parts of the country.
Zhanghua, an official with the National Health Commission, said that the speed was not caused by highly mutated infections, but also the peak of the country’s tourist season, with Chinese people using air transport heavily.
