The Chinese authorities noted a record maximum number of people infected with the coronavirus infection in a day. The number of patients was approximately 31,700 cases. This became known from the notification of the State Committee on Hygiene and Health Protection of the People's Republic of China.

 87% of those registered for the past day are carriers of the virus, who do not have symptoms of the disease. On November 23, one more person died of COVID-19 in China. A total of 5,232 people died from the coronavirus in the country.

 Prior to that, the maximum increase of infected COVID-19 in China was recorded on April 14 - more than 29 thousand infections per day.

 On November 23, 19,000 zones with a high or increased risk of infection with the coronavirus infection were identified in China. Six months ago, their number was 56.

 The spread of the country's virus is increasingly difficult to control. More than 90% of people infected with the coronavirus, who are in medical institutions that treat them, suffer from the disease without symptoms. At the end of January, there were about 20% of such infected people.

 The Chinese authorities have a "zero tolerance" policy towards COVID-19. In the spring of 2022, a lockdown was announced in Shanghai. Residents of the city could not leave their homes for several weeks.

 Since the beginning of the pandemic, about 650 million people have been infected with the coronavirus, more than six and a half million have died.

 The spread of COVID-19 began in China, where 288.5 million people were infected and more than five thousand died. According to the WHO, the incidence of COVID-19 in China has been increasing since August. A few days ago, a patient infected with the coronavirus died in China for the first time since May.
