Actually, I don't believe a completely zero case.

If we see how the virus works.

There will be another outbreak again like in the case of Urumqi and Beijing in the near future.

But the way China government handled it, I give it two thumbs.

I don't think it's a problem for China.

Key points, mass testing, by mass means the whole city in our standard, contact tracing with the help of AI and Apps.

After city wide mass testing which every person is supposed to be tested and strict lockdown, Now Urumqi has been virus free for days.
