		</div><p>The number of new coronavirus cases in an outbreak in China’s north-east tripled on Sunday and authorities tightened control on access to Shanghai in the east.</p>
<p>Bus services in the city of 24 million people were suspended and a negative Covid-19 test was required from anyone who wanted to enter.</p>
<p>The government reported 1,938 new cases on China’s mainland, more than triple the previous day’s total.</p>
<p>About three-quarters of those – 1,412 cases – were in Jilin province in the north-east, where access to the industrial city of Changchun has been suspended.</p>
<p>Families there were told to stay at home following a spate of infections.</p>
<p>China’s infection numbers are relatively low but authorities are enforcing a “zero tolerance” strategy to find and quarantine every infected person.</p>
<p>In Hong Kong, the territory’s government reported 15,789 new daily cases, down by almost half from Saturday’s total.</p>
<p>The territory’s leader, chief executive Carrie Lam, warned on Saturday that the latest infection surge might not yet be past its peak.</p>
<p>Authorities in Jilin are stepping up anti-disease measures after concluding that their earlier response was inadequate, according to Zhang Yan, deputy director of the provincial Health Commission.</p>
<p>“The emergency response mechanism in some areas is not sound enough,” he said at a news conference, according to a transcript released by the government.</p>
<p>In Shanghai, China’s most populous city, the number of cases in the latest surge rose by 15 to 432.</p>
<p>The city government called on the public not to leave unless necessary. It said bus services would be suspended from Sunday.</p>
<p>“Those who come or return to Shanghai must have a negative nucleic acid test report within 48 hours before arrival,” said a city health agency statement.</p>
<p>On the mainland, 831 new cases were reported in Changchun, 571 in the nearby provincial capital city of Jilin, 150 in the eastern port city of Qingdao and 60 in Shenzhen, a business centre adjacent to Hong Kong.</p>
<p>Some residents of Cangzhou, south of Beijing, were told to stay at home after nine cases were reported, according to a government notice. It was not clear how many of its 7.3 million people were affected.</p>
