Chinese police clamp down after days of Covid protests

China's protests against Covid restrictions which erupted over the weekend appear to have died down, as authorities begin clamping down.

A heavy police presence has been reported in several cities, and some gatherings were quelled or failed to materialise.

Several people in Beijing said police had called demanding information about their whereabouts.

On Tuesday officials said they would speed up a push to vaccinate elderly people where rates are relatively low.
