With the virus let loose, China stops publishing daily infection tallies and reports five or fewer deaths a day since the policy U-turn, figures disputed by the World Health Organization.
BEIJING, China – Many parts of China are already past their peak of COVID-19 infections, state media reported on Tuesday, January 10, with officials further downplaying the severity of the outbreak despite international concerns about its scale and impact.
With the virus let loose, China has stopped publishing daily infection tallies and has been reporting five or fewer deaths a day since the policy U-turn, figures that have been disputed by the World Health Organization. Yin Yong, acting mayor of Beijing, was cited as saying the capital was also past its peak. Li Pan, deputy director of the Municipal Health Commission in the city of Chongqing said the peak there was reached on Dec. 20.
Testing requirements introduced by several countries, including the United States, Japan, South Korea, Britain, France and others in response to China’s COVID-19 outbreak, were called out by foreign ministry as “discriminatory.”
