Of the 140 new infections, 87 had spread domestically, up from 55 a day earlier, according to the National Health Commission.

Cases have been on the rise in recent weeks as the country has reduced the number of cases to a minimum, thanks to a “zero Govt” strategy that includes border controls, lengthy isolations and target lockdowns.
Under strict control rules, as of Thursday, families in Xi’an were not allowed to send a member outside every two days to purchase basic necessities. Residents must obtain special permission from their employer or local authorities to leave the city.
