Temperature checks, queues for tests and inspections at airports\u2014Chinese authorities have stepped up health checks to snuff out the threat of a coronavirus resurgence.<\/p>\n

China, where the virus first emerged around a year ago, largely contained its outbreak, and its economy has roared back to life.<\/p>\n

But Beijing is taking few risks with coronavirus cases skyrocketing in many parts of the world and the threat of a new variant experts believe could be more transmissible.<\/p>\n

Strict checks have been imposed across neighbourhoods in the capital Beijing, where suspected virus cases have been detected.<\/p>\n

Workers in full PPE are spraying boats and airport arrival areas as part of a swift mobilisation to contain potential winter outbreaks.<\/p>\n

Orderly queues snaked outside a testing site in the Shunyi district of Beijing, while officials checked health data stored on QR codes of visitors to Beijing hospitals.<\/p>\n

China reported just 21 new cases on Monday, the majority imported.<\/p>\n

The official national death toll remains at 4,634 with nearly 87,000 infections reported by authorities.\n <\/p>\n\n
