Global outbreak fears surge as virus in China prompts quarantines and thousands of new cases are reported

Chinese officials have imposed Covid-like quarantines in parts of the country as cases of chikungunya virus continue to surge. 

More than 7,000 infections have been reported in the southern city of Foshan, in Guangdong province, prompting authorities to isolate patients in hospital wards covered with mosquito nets. 

They are required to remain there for a week or until they test negative, if sooner.
