Corona virus infection is once again spreading rapidly in China. Since the outbreak of Wuhan at the beginning of the epidemic, the highest number of cases have been found here in the last 24 hours. According to data from the National Health Commission, 214 domestically infected cases of corona were identified in China on Sunday. Counting of locally detected infections in China and those coming from outside the mainland separately began in March 2020. In this way, this is the largest number of infected found domestically in a day.
Local cases of the virus found recently in China are far below global standards. The Chinese government is working on a ‘dynamic-clearing’ policy these days. Under this, the local authorities have been tasked to quickly identify every infection and their close contacts. Along with this, the travel of such people is also completely banned.
