BEIJING, Dec 14 — China’s economically important Zhejiang province wrestled today with a Covid outbreak that has caused some districts to shut down businesses and left hundreds of thousands of people facing quarantine or other restrictions.

More than 70,000 people have been placed under some form of isolation in the province while more than 465,000 face other restrictions, officials have said. In recent days, districts in Ningbo — the province’s main port — and the nearby city of Shaoxing said they were suspending some business operations.

He expects the flare-up could take up to 40 days to subside, with manufacturers possibly resuming work only after the Lunar New Year holiday in February.
