China reported on Thursday the third day in a row with over 1,000 positive cases of Corleone.
Wuhan, the first area in the world where COVID exploded, reported 2025 infected over the week. Local authorities ordered over 800,000 people in a district to stay in the homes until October 30th.
Wuhan suspended the sale of pork in some parts of the city, with the reasoning that a positive case was linked to the supply chain.

China has consistently pledged to show zero tolerance in response to COVID-19 and to implement any measures authorities impose.
