They do keep track of the numbers tho, only withholding it from the public.
~250 million infected already, over 50% in Beijing infected
In terms of China and "keeping track", I wouldn't exactly call this scientific or keeping track; all those figures are admittedly ESTIMATES only.
Withholding estimates from the public doesn't really have quite the impact.
And if half of your office/school/factory/WeChat group is out sick with Covid, I am pretty sure most Chinese can figure out themselves that their city's infection rate is ~50% and don't need the govt. to tell them their estimates.
