and china s policy when it comes to controlling covid-19 is very different to what we see in the west. in the latest outbreak, just over 200 cases have been reported in the last week around the city of sheehan, which is a city of 13 residents, and still they locked down the city. they put curbs on outbound travel, so mayor restrictions being posed there. there s a big question mark as to whether they ll be able to maintain their zero tolerance policy with the omicron which spreads so rapidly. i should note in xiang there are no cases. good news. the omicron variant may be less severe than the delta.
