Meanwhile, the latest spate of Covid-19 cases in Beijing and Dalian is causing increasing alarm.
There have been some 16 cases in Beijing since Dec 14, the first domestic infections there in over 150 days.
The mass testing in Dalian has also uncovered some 28 cases, 24 of which were asymptomatic.
Experts are warning that the recent cases might have multiple sources and the fear is that the virus is spreading undetected in these cities.
