China is taking strict and rapid measures to address the new wave of COVID-19 infections, as multiple regions have seen cases rising.
The National Health Commission said Monday that the Chinese mainland on Sunday reported 1,337 locally transmitted COVID-19 cases.
The government has vowed to prevent a large-scale coronavirus outbreak by expanding the scope of tests, speeding up the screening process, and more.
Northeast China's Jilin Province is among the hardest-hit regions as Omicron spreads.
Its capital city Changchun and second largest city Jilin city were placed under lockdown management.
Residents were asked not to leave home unless necessary.
The city of Jilin has conducted 7 rounds of COVID-19 tests for the entire population over the past 11 days.
As of March 14, five makeshift hospitals have been put into use in Jilin City, which can offer over 9,000 beds. The sixth one with nearly 2,000 beds is under construction.
In Laixi City, east China's Shandong Province, the local authorities have provided both physical and psychological treatment for people in need.
The total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases reported on the mainland, both local and imported, had risen to 116,902 by Sunday.
