89% people are corona infected, cases will increase further, Chinese health experts claim

China Corona Updates: China is battling a sharp increase in cases after its decision to remove lockdown, quarantine and large-scale testing last month. It has affected the economy of the country.

Compared to the first and second wave in China, the third wave wreaked havoc . The government abolished the zero covid policy under the pressure of the people. After this, like a fire in the forest, the corona virus kept taking people in its JD. The situation became such that the hospitals were completely filled, medicines ran out, long queues started forming at the cremation grounds. The Chinese government stopped releasing the figures. This made it difficult to estimate the exact position. The scene of devastation was clearly visible in the viral video on social media. Top Chinese officials say that 89 percent of the people have been infected.

China's top health official has said that 89% of people in the country have been infected with Kovid. In Henan province with a population of 99.4 million, the figures suggest that around 88.5 million people may now be infected. About 90 percent of the people in China's third most populous province are now in the grip of Kovid. Kan Quancheng, director of the health commission of central Henan province, said that as of January 6, 2023, the Kovid infection rate is 89.0 percent.

Now more cases will increase

China has been grappling with a sharp rise in cases since its decision last month to lift lockdown, quarantine and ramp up testing. It has affected the economy of the country. It is a matter of concern that the infection of corona is expected to increase further. The reason behind this is Lunar New Year Later which will be celebrated at the end of this month. During this people meet each other. Lakhs of people are expected to visit infirm old relatives in rural areas from big cities.

China is not giving correct figures

Official figures show 120,000 people have been infected and 30 have died in the past week since China eased Covid restrictions in early December. But Beijing stopped releasing the figures of Kovid deaths last month and also stopped corona testing. Because of this the correct figure is not available. The WHO had reprimanded China and said that it should release the correct data so that the real situation of Corona could be ascertained.
