Coronavirus in China: Coronavirus has caused widespread devastation in China. Despite the dire situation, the government has resumed air and rail services. Railway stations and airports in China's major cities were crowded with passengers returning home on Monday for the Lunar New Year. This has health experts fearing that the spread of Covid may accelerate in the country. China had withdrawn the zero covid policy in early December after massive protests by the people. Officials said on Saturday that between December 8, 2022, and January 12, 2023, about 60,000 people infected with Covid died in hospitals. This number is much higher than the previous figures.

 

Doubts about infection figures

China was being questioned by many other countries including the World Health Organization regarding the infection figures. Still, the Chinese figures have not been agreed upon. A health expert has said that these figures do not include many people who died at home. Also, it does not include those who died especially in rural areas. At the same time, many experts estimate that more than one million people may die in China this year.

 

This is China's preparation

Rural hospitals and clinics are being boosted by supplies of medicines and other equipment ahead of the Lunar New Year holidays that begin on January 21. A doctor in Shanxi province told that the peak of infection in his area is over, but the elderly are at risk of infection. If anti-viral and other drugs were in abundance, it would have been better for them. At the same time, China's National Health Commission has said that along with fever medicines and oxygen supplies, it will equip every village clinic with pulse oximeters, and fingertip devices.

 

overcrowding at stations

Let us tell you that Beijing's main railway station has been packed with outgoing passengers in recent days. A separate train service has been started for passengers going from China's most populous city Shanghai to Anhui province. At the same time, the government in Hong Kong has said that they will allow 65,000 people to cross the border every day between January 18 and January 21. At present, 50,000 people cross the border every day.
