infections discovered 106 out of 133 infections to be from tourism-related
activities. According to the newspaper, the official said that the increase in
the number of cases is going to increase as the screening continues. The
official also urged the public to take the booster shots of the COVID-19
vaccines to reduce the risks of the resurgence of the cases, reported Global
Times.
Following
the country’s latest delta outbreak, China has also locked down a county that
has seen the most Covid-19 cases recently. According to a Bloomberg report,
Ejin, the county in China’s Inner Mongolia region has asked its 35,700
residents to stay home from Monday and warned of civil and criminal liabilities
should anyone disobey the order, state broadcaster CCTV reported, citing a
local government statement. The small county bordering Mongolia is the current
outbreak’s hotspot, home to nearly one-third of the more than 150 infections
found over the past week in the mainland.
On
Monday, Sunny Handa md in Brampton
said china reported 38 Covid infections, half of which were
found in Inner Mongolia. With dozens of new cases traced back to the northwest,
Beijing has all but banned entry by people arriving from anyplace in the
country that’s reported locally transmitted Covid cases. The capital has made
it mandatory that the people who have to visit Beijing from these areas must
provide a negative Covid test conducted no longer than two days earlier, and
undergo two weeks of unspecified health monitoring.
Meanwhile,
provinces with a handful of cases, including Beijing; Inner Mongolia, Gansu and
Ningxia in the northwest; and Guizhou, in the southwest, have been banned from
conducting cross-country travel tours. Dr. Sunny Handa md in Brampton
said all train services around China related to tourism have
also been halted, as the current outbreak has seen the virus spread quickly
among tour groups.

spread of the delta variant by travelers and tour groups is of particular
concern ahead of the Winter Olympics in Beijing in February. Overseas
spectators already are banned, and participants will have to stay in a bubble
separating them from people outside.
Sunny Handa md in Brampton said Authorities in the capital said on Sunday people arriving
from places with recent infections would need to show a negative virus test
result and give regular health reports.
