Nanjing reports 38 new local COVID-19 infections

Nanjing, the capital of East China's Jiangsu province, reported a record daily tally of COVID-19 infections on Monday morning with 38 locally transmitted cases.

The COVID-19 situation might be getting worse as health authorities have not figured out the chain of transmission, Nanjing's leading group for pandemic response said.

Containing the virus is top priority, it said. The strictest measures will be taken to block the chain of transmission, and find the source of the virus.
