We all know that the outbreak of the deadly coronavirus originated in China and it is claimed that it also prevented the infection very rapidly. But once again the threat of Covid-19 virus is increasing in China and this time China is taking various steps to stop it. In this episode, thousands of dollars are being given by the administration in a city affected by infection in China, that too only to tell the source of this new outbreak of virus. This campaign is being called “people’s war” against Corona.
On Tuesday, 43 new cases of the virus were reported in China due to the increased outbreak due to the Delta variant. In the last three weeks, the number of new cases increased in double digits and the virus has spread again in 20 provinces and territories of the country.
As many countries relax Covid-19 guidelines, Beijing officials are sticking to a zero-Covid strategy, including border closures, lockdowns and long quarantines.
The current outbreak has affected more than 40 cities and officials in Hehe, a northern city on the border with Russia, said they would give 100,000 yuan ($15,500) as a reward to those providing information on virus case tracing.

“In order to uncover the source of the outbreak of this virus as soon as possible and find out how it spread, it is necessary to wage a mass war for the prevention and control of the epidemic,” the city administration said in a notice.
Officials said cases of smuggling, poaching and cross-border fishing should be reported immediately. Also, people who have bought imported goods online should “immediately sanitize” and get them tested.
The new wave has seen millions under lockdown and domestic travel rules tightened, with many planes and trains cancelled. A cluster in central Henan province has been linked to schools. Health officials have urged rapid vaccination of children.
According to official figures, more than 3.5 million doses of the vaccine have been administered to children between the ages of three and 11.
In an interview being shared on Chinese social media with Phoenix Television, virologist and Hong Kong University professor Guan Yi called for better data to evaluate the effectiveness of China’s vaccine.
“We shouldn’t be doing massive nucleic acid tests at every turn to detect Covid-19 cases, or blindly taking a booster jab,” he said.
