An epidemic control worker wears a protective suit as he watches workers erect a metal barrier fence outside a community under lockdown to prevent the spread of COVID-19 on November 24, 2022 in Beijing, China. China recorded its highest number of COVID-19 cases since the pandemic began Wednesday, as authorities stuck to their strict zero tolerance approach: containing the virus with lockdowns, mandatory testing, mask mandates, and quarantines as it struggles to contain outbreaks. In an effort to try to bring rising cases under control, the government last week closed most stores and restaurants for inside dining, switched schools to online studies, and asked people to work from home.
