The recent outbreak of COVID-19 in Henan province has the character of multiple sporadic cases, more mild and asymptomatic cases and reduced vaccine protection, Zhang Boli, an academician at the Chinese Academy of Engineering, told Health Times on Thursday.

The province reported 56 new locally transmitted confirmed cases on Thursday, the provincial Health Commission said on Friday.

Of the cases, 26 were found in the capital, Zhengzhou, with 28 in Xuchang and one each in Xinyang and Luoyang.

"Similar to Shaanxi province, the recent outbreak in Henan involved the Delta variant, with hidden transmission, multi-point distribution and a concentrated outbreak," Zhang said. "Stringent control measures adopted in Xi'an have proved effective, so Henan can learn from its experience."
