Epidemiologist Wu Zunyou, who helped drive anti-Covid measures in China that suspended access to cities and confined millions to their homes, has died aged 60.

An announcement from China’s Centre for Disease Control and Prevention about Mr Wu’s death gave no cause, but said that “rescue measures failed”.
