Authorities reported the country’s first coronavirus death in six months.
Meanwhile, people in eight districts of Zhengzhou, a north-central Henan province city where factory workers recently clashed with police during a pay dispute, were instructed to stay home for five days beginning Thursday except to buy groceries or seek medical treatment. Daily mass testing was ordered for the city’s 6.6 million residents.
China’s borders remain largely shuttered amid the growing number of cases. At a news conference Thursday, a Foreign Ministry spokesman said the country would continue to improve various COVID-19 protocols “according to the science-based and targeted principles” to ease the way for travel and exchanges with other countries.
