omicron variant spawning outbreaks at a scale only seen at the peak of the start of the pandemic, China’s daily Covid-19 caseload exceeded 1,000 for the first time in two years.

Of these infections, 159 were reported in Shandong, 134 in Jilin, 35 in Tianjin, 33 in Guangdong, 30 in Shaanxi, 23 in Zhejiang, 22 in Hebei, 20 in Jiangsu and the rest of the cases were reported in seven other provincial-level regions, Xinhua reported citing commission's daily report.
