China is witnessing its worst outbreak since Wuhan

China is witnessing a fresh wave of coronavirus cases, fuelled by the highly transmissible Delta variant, which has spread beyond the capital city of Beijing to five other provinces across the country. Alarmingly, state media has indicated that the recent surge is the worst the country has witnessed since the domestic outbreak in Wuhan in December, 2019.

Nearly 200 cases have been detected, all of which have been linked to a small outbreak in Nanjing airport on July 20.
