A piece in the South China Morning Post ICYMI:

Chinese Vice-Premier Sun Chunlan:

  • “It is necessary to further improve the efficiency of nucleic acid testing and investigations, adopt strict social control measures, block transmission routes as soon as possible, and strictly prevent the spread of the epidemic,”
