Authorities in Wuhan stated that they would test its entire population for Covid-19 after the central Chinese city where the coronavirus emerged reported its first local infections.
According to the official reports, Wuhan city of around 11 million is swiftly launching comprehensive nucleic acid testing of all residents. Around seven locally transmitted infections had been found among migrant workers in the city, breaking a year-long streak without domestic cases after it squashed an initial outbreak with an unprecedented lockdown in early 2020.
The report further added that China has confined the residents of entire cities to their homes, cut domestic transport links and rolled out mass testing in recent days as it battles its largest coronavirus outbreak in months. China reported 61 domestic cases as an outbreak of the fast-spreading Delta variant reached dozens of cities after infections among airport cleaners in Nanjing sparked a chain of cases that have been reported across the country.
