China races to contain its worst COVID-19 outbreak in months that has now spread to 14 provinces.
Mushrooming outbreaks of the Delta variant prompted China and Australia to impose stricter COVID-19 curbs on Saturday, as the WHO urged the world to contain the mutation before it turns into something deadlier and draws out the pandemic. China’s most serious surge of coronavirus infections in months spread to two more areas Saturday — Fujian province and the megacity of Chongqing — in an outbreak that now spans 14 provinces. More than 200 cases have been linked to an original Delta cluster in Nanjing city where nine cleaners at an international airport tested positive.More Related News
