Coronavirus tally: China locks down Peking University over single COVID case in latest zero-COVID move #FinanceUSA #StockMarketNEWS
Chinese authorities locked down a major university in Beijing on Wednesday after finding one COVID-19 case in the latest sign of their commitment to a "zero-COVID" approach despite growing public discontent, the Associated Press reported.
Beijing reported more than 350 new cases in the latest 24-hour period, a small fraction of its 21-million population but enough to trigger localized lockdowns and quarantines under China's "zero-COVID" strategy. Nationwide, China reported about 20,000 cases, up from about 8,000 a week ago.
The news comes as known U.S. cases of COVID are climbing again for the first time in a few months. The daily average for new cases stood at 39,414 on Tuesday, according to a New York Times tracker, up 2% versus two weeks ago. The daily average for hospitalizations was up 2% at 27,807, while the daily average for deaths is down 15% to 292. Globally, the confirmed case tally rose above 635.9 million on Wednesday, according to data aggregated by Johns Hopkins, while the death toll is above 6.61 million with the U.S leading the world with 98 million cases and 1,075,112 fatalities.
