China Battles Outbreaks As Country Records Record Cases

BEIJING, CHINA - NOVEMBER 29: Epidemic control workers wear PPE to prevent the spread of COVID-19 as they stand next to equipment for cold weather in an area where some communities are under lockdown on November 29, 2022 in Beijing, China. In recent days, China has been recording its highest number of daily COVID-19 cases since the pandemic began, as authorities are sticking to their strict zero tolerance approach to containing the virus with lockdowns, mandatory testing, mask mandates, and quarantines as it struggles to contain outbreaks.In an effort to try to bring rising cases under control, the government last week closed most stores and restaurants for inside dining, switched schools to online studies, and told people to work from home among other measures.
