SHANGHAI, Oct 13 (Reuters) - China's daily count of new coronavirus cases has doubled since September, hardening the resolve of authorities to eliminate outbreaks as quickly as they appear and dimming hopes for an easing in their zero-COVID stance.
China reported 1,624 new COVID-19 infections for Oct. 12, of which 372 were symptomatic and 1,252 asymptomatic, the National Health Commission said on Thursday.
That compares with 1,890 new cases a day earlier – 417 symptomatic and 1,473 asymptomatic
