BEIJING — The latest COVID-19 outbreak in East China's Fujian province has been brought under control, a health official said on Sept 29.

Efforts should be made to consolidate the epidemic prevention and control achievements to prevent a resurgence, Mi Feng, spokesperson for the National Health Commission, told a press conference in Beijing.

Mi, however, warned that the epidemic situation in Northeast China's Heilongjiang province is still at a critical stage. He called for intensified efforts to contain the spread of the virus in the region.
