The wave of flare-ups in South China s Hainan Province is developing rapidly and the province is at a crucial stage to strive for the zero-case goal in communities, local authorities announced on Monday, vowing to extend its static management on fishing ports or related businesses from Tuesday to August 22 as the outbreak in the coastal city of Sanya was likely triggered by imports through the fishery trade.
Over 10,000 medics from 19 provincial-level regions have been drafted to help Hainan in fighting the latest COVID-19 resurgence, with the majority in the worst-hit city of Sanya.
More than 2,000 tourists stranded in Sanya, a tourism resort in South China s Hainan Province due to a latest COVID-19 resurgence have flown back home. Their departure comes at a time when the city reported 1,254 new cases on Thursday.
