China is continuing its strict anti-corona policy: In Dalian, a city of millions in the northeast of the People's Republic, several thousand students have been quarantined.

More than 10,000 students were obliged to stay in the rooms of their dormitories or to go to specially set up quarantine hotels.

The authorities reacted to a corona outbreak among students with around 60 infections.

In the entire city, which has more than six million inhabitants, the number of infections was more than 200.

The Chinese government is pursuing a strict "zero covid strategy".

With curfews, mass tests, contact tracing, quarantine and strict entry restrictions, the country has largely got the virus under control.

So far, the rigorous procedure has actually always meant that the mostly small outbreaks could be brought back under control after a few weeks.

Since the appearance of the significantly more contagious delta variant, however, larger waves of infection have accumulated.

With around 50 new infections per day nationwide, the seven-day incidence in China - i.e. the number of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants within a week - is still not even 0.004 according to official information.
