It is recalled that almost 60,000 people with Covid have died in the country’s hospitals since January 12
The possibility of a major resurgence of it Covid-19 in China over the next two or three months is small, as 80% of the population has already been infected, Wu Zunyu, chief epidemiologist at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said on the social media platform Weibo.
The senior government scientist said that “mass movements of people during the current Chinese New Year holiday season may spread the pandemic, increasing infections in some areas, but a second wave of Covid is unlikely in the short term.”
Nearly 60,000 people with Covid have died in hospitals since January 12, about a month after China suddenly scrapped its zero-Covid policy, according to government figures.
However, experts argue that this number does not fully reflect reality because it does not include those who die at home and because many doctors have said they are discouraged from citing Covid as a cause of death. .
