On Wednesday, new cases of Covid-19 in China reached their highest levels on a daily basis since the outbreak of the pandemic in early 2020: according to updates from the National Health Commission, domestic infections stood at 31,444, of which 27,517 were asymptomatic.
These are minimal numbers considering what is happening in other countries, but relevant in China where the 'zero tolerance' policy is still followed, albeit in the dynamic version, based on lockdown, mass testing and quarantine.
The figure exceeds the almost 30,000 infections in mid-April, in the midst of the outbreaks that blocked Shanghai for two months.
