BEIJING: A major Chinese high-tech industry centre limited some highway access on Tuesday after detecting new COVID-19 cases, while epidemic control measures, including mass testing, affected the local operations of overseas firms such as Robert Bosch GmbH.
The highly transmissible Omicron variant was detected among the cases, a Suzhou official said on Monday, without specifying the number of Omicron cases. On Tuesday, it closed 15 highway entrances and required drivers and passengers leaving through others to have proof of negative test results within 48 hours.
