Covid-19 in China: Zero Covid policy failed in China! public cost


Posted on 23rd Dec 2022 10:21 am by rohit kumar

On December 7, China suddenly relaxed its strict Zero Covid Policy without any plan. Since then tension has increased here. Patients are fighting with doctors for medicines that are in short supply. The pressure on doctors is high, due to a shortage of staff, and infected staff is also working.

 

What says the doctor?

Nora, 30, is a doctor at a government hospital in Shanghai. Seeing the seriousness of the matter, he did not reveal his full name. She says, 'There was a sudden relaxation in the policy to control Covid. The hospitals should have been informed in advance to make adequate preparations.

 

Sudden relaxation in zero covid policy

Strict measures were implemented here for a long time to eliminate the coronavirus. However, President Xi Jinping abruptly ended the Zero Covid policy in the face of massive public protests. Because of this, China's public health system has faltered. Shortages of medicines, testing kits, and logistics are affecting daily life.

 

'Zero Covid policy not successful'

Kenji Shibuya, a former senior adviser to the World Health Organisation, said, 'I think China thought that its policy was successful and that gradual change was possible in different phases of the epidemic. But apparently, it was not so.

 

Reuters interviewed more than a dozen global health experts, epidemiologists, residents, and political analysts. He was asked about the reasons for the failure to vaccinate the elderly and the public with the Zero Covid policy exit strategy as well as the excessive focus on eradicating the virus, which has been a source of tension in China.

 

Because of these, the medical infrastructure is under stress. These people said that the country has spent the last three years on quarantine and testing facilities instead of hospitals and clinics and training medical staff. The medical system hasn't had time to prepare for this.
