BEIJING: China will continue with its zero-Covid-19 policy, which has proved effective and is gaining wider international recognition amid emergence of the Omicron variant, according to officials and experts.

The nation has seen more than 40 locally transmitted outbreaks since bringing the Covid-19 outbreak under control in Wuhan, capital of Hubei province, and throughout the province. These outbreaks were caused by imported infections, according to health authorities.
