The recent resurgence of COVID-19, which has hit 11 provincial regions and has led to at least 106 infections in 13 tour groups, is believed to have been caused by an imported case, health officials revealed on Sunday. "Most cases reported in the recent wave were caused by the Delta variant and related to tourism. The origin of the virus is still under investigation," said Wu Liangyou, deputy director of the National Health Commission's disease prevention and control bureau. "The latest resurgence developed fast, with a growing number of cases not related to the tour groups," Wu added.
