SHANGHAI: Mainland China reported more than 1,500 new local COVID-19 infections on Saturday , the most since the initial nationwide outbreak at the start of 2020, as the Omicron variant prompts cities across the country to further tighten measures.

Of the daily total, 476 were locally transmitted, the National Health Commission said, including five people initially classified as asymptomatic who developed symptoms later. Several cities have taken measures such as cancelling group events, launching rounds of mass testing and cutting face-to-face classes in school.

The venue for the Canton Fair, China's oldest and biggest trade fair, has been temporarily closed as it was recently visited by a suspected confirmed case, local authorities in Guangzhou said.
