Vice-Premier Liu Guozhong visits Foshan in Guangdong province as number of cases of mosquito-borne disease nears 5,000.

Vice-Premier Liu Guozhong calls on manufacturing hub in southern Guangdong province to strictly follow ‘port health quarantine measures’.

Provincial governor urges ‘forceful measures’ to counter the disease after nearly 3,000 cases are reported in a week.

The uptick in cases have prompted measures that are being compared to those taken during the pandemic.

Foshan authorities implement new controls to track cases, while Fujian cities ask people returning from Guangdong to monitor symptoms.
