The city of Shanghai is taking the strongest action to deal with the situation leading the country in the number of asymptomatic positive cases. In the past 24 hours, this city recorded the number of asymptomatic positive cases up to 2,231 cases.

In addition to speeding up the introduction of a more effective vaccine with the Omicron variant to the market, China is increasing vaccination for children aged 3-11 and people over 80 years old.
