The daily number of Covid-19 cases has hit a new record in China, authorities said on Thursday as they work to stem the spread of the virus through mass testing and travel restrictions.
“China recorded 31,444 cases on Wednesday, of which 27,517 are asymptomatic,” the national health bureau said.
The new figures are higher than the 29,390 infections recorded in mid-April, when Shanghai – the world’s third most populous city – was under lockdown and residents struggled to buy food and access medical care.
With a population of more than 1.2 billion, China is the only major economy in the world still trying to stem the spread of the virus in the country, shutting down entire cities and placing contacts of infected patients in strict quarantine
