Three years after the first cases, China is facing its worst wave covidand the rapid spread of the virus through the country has cast doubt on the reliability of official figures. Faced with this new outbreak, the country’s hospitals, morgues and crematoriums have once again been overwhelmed.
Last Sunday, the country’s Center for Disease Control and Prevention announced it would stop publishing its daily report describing new cases of Covid-19 and deaths from the disease since the beginning of 2020.
For the doubts about the veracity of your datain recent weeks, health authorities have stopped disclosing the number of infections considered asymptomatic by their standards, although these were only reported in the aforementioned daily report, but never added to the official case balances, to which only those infected who showed the required symptoms were added.
The end of the obligation to undergo routine PCR testing for the majority of the population resulted in a detection of cases significantly less than the actual spread of the virus.
The latest official report, published on Saturday, reported just 4,128 new infections and no deaths, bringing the sum of symptomatic infections since the start of the pandemic to nearly 400,000 and that of deaths to 5,241.
However, the supposed minutes of a meeting of the National Health Commission showed that the true number of new daily infections could have been 37 million and that in the first days of this month, about 248 million people – 18% of the national population – contracted the disease. .
In the absence of information at the national level, some provinces and cities have begun to release their own data on the wave of infections.
