China is grappling with a growing virus flareup, with a jump in infections in provinces near Shanghai causing some areas to lock down even as cases remain well below the peak of the city’s outbreak in April and May.
Growing clusters in the eastern province of Anhui have led to the highest level of transmission for over a month and helped push the national tally to 380 local cases on Sunday. Infections have spilled over into neighboring Jiangsu province, with the commercial hub of Wuxi city reporting 35 local cases. The city shut entertainment venues, suspended dining-in and reduced the operating hours of the subway and bus service.
