New coronavirus cases continue to grow in the major eastern Chinese city of Nanjing, with 38 new cases having been reported, bringing the total to more than 60 over recent days, reports AP.
Tens of thousands of people are under lockdown and authorities are conducting mass testing of the population — standard practices in China that have generally been successful in controlling the spread of the virus.
One other case of local transmission has been reported in the nearby city of Suqian and one in the northeastern province of Liaoning. Both have been classified as being linked to the Nanjing outbreak.
