BEIJING: A city in south-east China hit by COVID-19 told residents on Saturday to stay home and closed various venues, as infections spread in the country's latest hotspot during a key holiday travel season.

That is about half the number of nearby Putian, where the first infection in this outbreak was reported on Sep 10.
