SHANGHAI (Reuters): More than a dozen Chinese listed companies have said they had suspended production in coronavirus-hit parts of China's eastern Zhejiang province in response to local government's Covid-19 curbs.

Zhejiang reported a total of 173 locally transmitted cases with confirmed symptoms during the Dec 6-12 period, official numbers showed on Monday (Dec 13), marking the province's first domestic cluster outbreak this year.
