- WHO says China underreported virus-related deaths, hospital admissions, and patients in ICU.
- US added its name to the list of nations that have limitations on tourists from China.
- Hospitals in China are at capacity and the country’s burial homes are being overrun.
In response to the World Health Organization’s (WHO) criticism of Beijing, US Vice President Joe Biden expressed alarm over the Covid situation in China.
According to WHO, China underreported virus-related deaths, hospital admissions, and patients in intensive care units.
After China ended its draconian “Zero Covid policy” after almost three years, the United States added its name to the list of nations that have limitations on tourists from China. According to reports, hospitals in China are at capacity and the country’s burial homes are being overrun by the influx.
Joe Biden’s statement about China’s response to the epidemic, “They’re very sensitive … when we suggest they haven’t been that forthcoming.”
Beijing announced one connected fatality on the mainland on Wednesday, down from five on Tuesday, bringing the total number of deaths associated with the Covid issue to 5,259. This is despite Beijing continuing to downplay how serious the situation is.
While European Union officials advised that passengers flying from China should have a negative test before they begin their flights, certain nations have made it mandatory for travelers from China to undergo Covid testing. In response to concerns about the new variety, nations have also started testing and sequencing wastewater on aircraft coming from China and at airports that handle international flights. The limitations have drawn criticism from Beijing, which has dubbed them unreasonable and unscientific.
