  • China on Sunday reported its highest number of new COVID-19 infections in six months, a day after health officials said they were sticking with strict coronavirus curbs, likely disappointing recent investor hopes for an easing.
  • At a news conference on Saturday, health officials reiterated their commitment to the “dynamic-clearing” approach to COVID cases as soon as they emerge.
  • China’s capital Beijing reported 43 symptomatic and six asymptomatic cases, compared with 37 symptomatic and five asymptomatic cases the previous day.
