China’s ongoing outbreak driven by the delta strain in the western city of Xi’an showed little signs of easing despite a strict lockdown of 13 million people. 

The city reported more than 170 cases on Saturday and over 120 on Sunday with many of the new infections involving people who are not close contacts of previously infected people. That indicates spread in the community is still not yet fully accounted for. 

Such hidden chains of transmission has led to the harshest restrictions since the lockdown of Wuhan in early 2020 and indicates the challenge authorities face in stamping out the outbreak, a goal China has arduously sought throughout under the so-called Covid Zero strategy.
