INTERNATIONAL: Mass coronavirus testing has continued on Tuesday as some parts of China are witnessing their highest number of Covid-19 infections since 2020.

China reported 3,507 new locally transmitted COVID-19 cases on the Chinese mainland. Omicron fuels surge in cases that is testing limits of China’s Zero COVID strategy.

China has reported more than 5,000 new confirmed cases of COVID-19, more than double the number reported on Monday and the highest daily count since the pandemic began more than two years ago.

The National Health Commission has announced 5,280 new COVID cases, including those without symptoms, on Tuesday. Unlike other countries, China does not officially classify asymptomatic cases of COVID-19 as confirmed cases, although it does release the data at the same time.

Despite the strict zero-COVID policy, China is facing up to over 10,000 cases since the beginning of March.
