On Monday there were 223 more cases reported in China, including another 80 in the virus-hit port city of Tianjin, and nine more — including cases of the highly transmissible Omicron variant — in the southern manufacturing hub of Guangdong. The city is now demanding a negative test before travel and a follow-up test after entering the city, with residents urged not to leave the city for the upcoming Lunar New Year holiday.The infected woman in Beijing had not travelled or had contact with infected people, authorities said, as they tested some 13,000 people living or working in the same area.

The strain was different from Omicron cases in China, and similar to strains identified from North America last month, she said. Another 68 cases were reported across central Henan province, where partial lockdowns and mass testing have been rolled out for millions of residents.
