China will cope with local Covid19 outbreaks in a “science-based, targeted” manner to maintain the normal order of life, according to a government work report released at the opening of the country's annual meeting of parliament.

China will stick to preventing inbound Covid infections and the domestic resurgence of the disease while continuing to refine its epidemic measures, according to the report.

The country will also step up research into coronavirus variants and their prevention and accelerate researching and developing vaccines and effective medicines against Covid, Reuters cited the report as saying.
