On Sunday, the streets of major Chinese cities were eerily silent as residents stayed indoors to guard against a spike of COVID-19 infections that has affected metropolitan centres all throughout the country, news agency Reuters reported.

He predicted that when individuals adhere to tradition and make their customary mass homecomings for the Lunar New Year holiday next month, there will be more waves.
