Scientists don't know but worry that might happen. It could be similar to Omicron variants circulating there now. It could be a combination of strains. Or something entirely different, they say. "China has a population that is very large and there's limited immunity. And that seems to be the setting in which we may see an explosion of a new variant," said Dr. Stuart Campbell Ray, an infectious disease expert at Johns Hopkins University. "When we've seen big waves of infection, it's often followed by new variants being generated," Ray said. About thre...

Nearly 30 Million Under Lockdown In China, Crisis Unprecedented China Coronavirus: China reported 5,280 new Covid-19 cases on Tuesday, more than double the previous day's tally, as the highly transmissible Omicron variant spreads across a country that has tethered tightly to a "zero-Covid" strategy. Beijing: Nearly 30 million people were under lockdown across China on Tuesday, as surging virus cases prompted the return of mass tests and hazmat-suited health officials to city streets on a scale not seen since the start of the pandemic. China reported 5,280 new Covid-19 cases on Tuesday, more than double the previous day's tally, as the highly transmissible Omicron variant spreads across a country that has tethered tightly to a "zero-Covid" strategy. That approach, which pivots on hard localised lockdowns and has left China virtually cut off from the outside world for two years, appears to be on the line as Omicron finds its way into communities. At least 13 cities nationwide were fully locked down on Tuesday, and several other cities had partial lockdowns. 'I panicked' The northeastern province of Jilin was the worst-hit -- with over 3,000 new cases on Tuesday, according to the National Health Commission. Residents of several cities there including the provincial capital of Changchun -- home to nine million people -- are under stay-at-home orders. Shenzhen -- the southern tech hub of 17.5 million people -- is three days into a lockdown with many factories closed and superma...

It said the average age of those who died was 79.3, and more than 90 per cent of those deaths were caused by underlying conditions combined with Covid. Do you have questions about the biggest topics and trends from around the world? Get the answers with Some 83,150 people died from Covid-related illness from mid-December to early February, according to previous China CDC reports. The China CDC did not give case numbers for the latest outbreak. But UK-based health data firm Airfinity had estimated that the wave would peak at the beginning of June at around In the report, the China CDC said its data showed infections had been sporadic and localised from February to early April. The numbers began to rise in late April then slowed down in late May. The number of fever clinic visits, severe cases and deaths increased in May from April but they were "far lower" than during the peak of the winter outbreak. During the current wave, patients visiting fever clinics nationwide peaked at 360,000 on May 18 - double the num...

Nearly 37 million people in China may have been infected with COVID-19 on a single day this week, the Bloomberg news agency has reported, citing minutes from an internal meeting of the country’s National Health Commission held on Wednesday. In all, the report which was published on Friday said about 18 percent of the country’s population – 248 million people – are likely to have contracted the virus in the first 20 days of December. China is witnessing a Now with those restrictions mostly lifted, China has also stopped mass-testing policies and no longer reports asymptomatic cases. This has led to concerns of widespread infections among a population that has largely been unexposed to the actual virus, and that has lost much of the protection it might have gained from vaccine shots taken several months ago. The country’s health system has also been Concerns over official statistics On Thursday, health data firm Airfinity estimated that there are likely more than 5,000 daily deaths and upwards of a million daily infections from COVID-19 in the country. Airfinity said its mortality risk analysis suggested between 1.3 million to 2.1 million people could die in China’s current COVID-19 outbreak. However, on the same day, China officially reported less than 4,000 new symptomatic local COVID-19 cases nationwide and no deaths from the virus. The conflicting data has raised concerns in the international community and prompted United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken to reque...
