China's Shanghai says new Omicron subvariant found

SHANGHAI: The city of Shanghai has discovered a COVID-19 case involving a new Omicron subvariant BA.5.2.1, an official told a briefing on Sunday , signalling the complications China faces to keep up with new mutations as it pursues its"zero-COVID" policy.

Shanghai, in eastern China, emerged from a lockdown lasting around two months at the start of June, but it has continued to impose tough restrictions, locking down buildings and compounds as soon as new potential transmission chains emerge.
