Chinese health authorities reported two COVID-19 related deaths on Saturday, as the country experiences another surge of virus infections.
Both recorded deaths were reported in the province of Jilin in the northeast, bringing up the total number of COVID-related deaths in the country to 4,638.
The average number of new infections reported each day in China rose by more than 1,900 over the last 3 weeks, representing 41% of the country’s previous peak, according to Reuters’ latest COVID Tracker, released this Saturday.
COVID-19 infections continue to increase in China, with 2,133 new infections reported on average each day, added the same source.
Recently, President Xi Jinping called on the Chinese population to step up efforts to curb the spread of Covid-19 as soon as possible, part of the country’s “zero tolerance” strategy.
