For some time now, China has faced a situation of embarrassment at the international level regarding the news related to the Corona epidemic . He is trying to control the epidemic. China is now trying to minimize the risk of corona virus infection during the travel of a large number of people on the Lunar New Year this month after all the measures to control the Kovid epidemic .
On Friday, on behalf of the Ministry of Transport, an appeal was made to the passengers, especially the elderly people, pregnant women, children and sick people, to reduce travel and not to crowd. "People using public transport should wear masks and pay special attention to their health and hygiene," Vice Minister Xu Chenguang told reporters.
China stopped the appeal to stay at home
Appeals to citizens to stay at home completely have been stopped as the government did at the beginning of this pandemic. Although some local governments have urged migrant workers not to return home. The Chinese government abruptly ended its system of lockdowns, quarantines and mass testing in December amid growing concerns about the economic side effects and protests against the restrictions in some places. After this, there was a spurt in the cases of corona virus infection in the country.
China is also ending the system of compulsorily sending citizens coming from abroad into isolation on Sunday. The number of countries making Covid testing mandatory for travelers coming from China is increasing worldwide. These countries say that China is not sharing enough information about the epidemic and especially about new forms of corona virus, due to which they have to make Kovid test mandatory for travelers coming from China.
lack of beds in hospitals in beijing
On the other hand, amid increasing cases of corona in the capital Beijing, there has been a shortage of beds in hospitals and patients can be seen taking oxygen while sitting on stretchers or wheelchairs in the corridors of the hospital. Chuyanglu Hospital, located in the eastern part of the city, was full of new patients on Thursday. By mid-day all the beds in the hospital were full but the process of reaching here by ambulances was going on continuously.
The nurses and doctors of the hospital immediately proceeded to get information about the patients who were in dire need of medical help. This flood of patients in Chinese hospitals has actually come after the removal of restrictions imposed under its zero covid policy that has been going on for almost three years. Under these restrictions, the lockdown was going on, there were restrictions on travel and even schools were closed. They had a lot of pressure on the economy and people had come out on the streets to protest against this.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is going to visit Beijing on his first visit this month or next month. During this, he will meet the newly appointed Foreign Minister of China, Qin Gang.
