Shanghai's health QR code, or the Suishenma digital ID, has expanded its scope to cover social security and traffic cards as well as other certificates for citizens. The Suishenma code was initiated in February 2020 to check the travel history of individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic. It later became the digital ID for citizens and companies due to its convenience and efficiency. Foreigners and those from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan also can apply for Suishenma and enjoy eligible services.

The virus strain behind the latest clusters of COVID-19 cases in Nanjing, capital of east China's Jiangsu Province, has been identified as the highly infectious Delta variant, local authorities said Tuesday.

An initiative that helps enterprises upscale their businesses in the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone has borne early fruit since its inception seven months ago.
