uthorities in northern China are reimposing lockdowns and other emergency measures to curb the spread of coronavirus, with health officials warning of a worsening outbreak after the country recorded more than 100 cases across 11 provinces over the last week.
"Since October 17, there have been multiple scattered local outbreaks in China, and they're expanding rapidly," Mi Feng, a spokesman at the National Health Commission (NHC), said at a news conference Sunday. "There is an increasing risk that the outbreak will spread even further."
The rapid spread comes despite about 75% of China's population -- or more than a billion people -- being fully vaccinated, according to Mi.
The caseload of China's latest outbreak pales in comparison with those of some other countries, including Singapore and the United Kingdom. But the scope of its spread has worried the Chinese government, which insists on a strict zero-Covid policy to stamp out infections.
The outbreak was first detected on October 16 among a tour group of fully vaccinated senior citizens from Shanghai who traveled in several northern regions. Among the 133 infections reported as of Sunday, 106 were linked to 13 tour groups, according to Mi, the NHC health official.
Infections have been reported in nearly a third of the country's provinces and regions, with all medium- and high-risk regions concentrated in Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Ningxia, Guizhou and Beijing. Authorities have banned travel agencies from organizing cross-provincial tours in these regions.
On Sunday, the Chinese capital tightened entry restrictions into the city, requiring travelers from places with confirmed cases to present a negative coronavirus test and undergo 14 days of health monitoring.

100 cases in 11 provinces justifies a lockdown? This sounds like propaganda: (1) they claim only 100 cases in a country with a huge population; and (2) they claim that this tiny number of cases justifies a lockdown. So Westerners looking at this are supposed to think, “Wow, they’ve done a great job controlling the pandemic, but they still think that even a small number of cases justifies a lockdown. So we must do the same!”
Kabuki theater.
The vaccine is the Bio weapon
of course it is propaganda. this one is CNN, but ALL FAKENEWSMSM runs this cr*p every few days, to give the impression China is suffering too. use of figures is always totally misleading.
meanwhile,
Statista: Coronavirus (COVID-19) deaths worldwide per one million population as of October 25, 2021, by country
#154 in the world: China - 4,849
https://www.statista.com/statistics/1104709/coronavirus-deaths-worldwide-per-million-inhabitants/
and to just be on par with US figures, there should be around 2.8 million “covid” deaths in China!
The Chinese Communist Party has nothing to fear from the Fauci/CCP biological warfare virus.
This is all part of the biological warfare script.
LOL at those gifs.
Where are the Oh NOES gif and the Not this $#!t again guy?
Good. Die Commie bastards.
We are at war with Eastasia.
Looks like China is copying America?
yeah...there ain’t nobody believing that.
No one believes the numbers from India either. Based upon excess deaths the true # in India is 2.5-3 million.
Even Russia was fudging the numbers.
China is going to get smoked by Covid when the world opens up and they have zero natural immunity.
Ping.
The deaths in India were in the millions. The govt covered it up
I believe it.
Bump
China can’t blame ‘incoming travelers’ any more since they have flights locked down pretty tight so now they’re blaming internal travelers. But one can’t travel freely internally. So they blame it on tour groups. And so on and so on.
