How China defeated a major Covid-19 Delta outbreak within a month

China has been known to tackle several outbreaks of Covid-19, the latest being the Delta variant.

Has the People's Republic of China found the antidote to the Delta variant of coronavirus? It is the only country that has, within five weeks, managed to stomp out a major Delta variant outbreak that too without a single death. Not just that, this is also around the 30th instance, since the pandemic began out of Wuhan in early 2020, of China controlling an outbreak of Covid-19 and bringing infection figures down to zero. On July 20, 2021, airport cleaning staff at Nanjing, in eastern China, had tested positive for the Delta variant of Covid-19 and the infections had soon spread to 50 cities across 17 mainland provinces of China. The outbreak, according to Xinhua News Agency, was controlled through resolute actions, including targeted lockdowns, travel restrictions, mass testing, and swift medical actions. These measures included completely cutting off train and airplane services to some of the higher risk areas.
