Chinese authorities reported that no new local cases of COVID-19 were recorded as cases originating from international travelers hit a peak.
Beijing has tightened its quarantine rules as China reported a record number of new imported cases of COVID-19 on Thursday, but no new local infections.
App technology is reportedly a key element of quarantine surveillance deployed by authorities in both cities. "We have consulted the Privacy Commissioner. Indeed he basically agreed that we can use this application to track the location of the confinee," Hong Kong's Chief Information Office Victor Lam told reporters.
Chinese officials said on Thursday that 34 new cases of COVID-19 had been reported in the country, all of which had come from people entering from abroad.
