About 25 million people are infected with corona in China in 20 days, leaked documents

In China, about 250 million people have been infected with corona within 20 days of the relaxation of corona restrictions. Radio Free Asia reported this, citing leaked 'official documents'.

A senior Chinese journalist told Radio Free Asia that the leaked document is accurate, according to news agency ANI. He said it was leaked by someone who attended the meeting of the National Health Commission.

The document was leaked from a 20-minute meeting of China's National Health Commission. According to the documents, in the first 20 days of December, about 25 crore people of the country were infected with corona. This number is about 17.65 percent of China's population. Among them, on December 20, about 3 crore 70 people were diagnosed with corona in one day.

The leaked report came out at the same time as the comments of the British health information agency Airfinity, in which more than 1 million people are infected in China a day and more than 5 thousand may die. The document is circulating on social media.

Meanwhile, China's National Health Commission believes that the lifting of restrictions in Beijing is causing a rapid increase in the number of corona infections. More than half of the residents of China's southwestern Sichuan province and capital Beijing are now infected with the virus. But how they came to this idea is unclear. Because the Chinese government shut down its network of PCR testing booths earlier this month.

Ordinary people in China are now undergoing 'rapid antigen tests' to detect infections. Meanwhile, the country's government has stopped publishing daily numbers of asymptomatic patients.

Chen Qin, Chief Economist of Data Consultancy Metro Datatech, predicted that the current wave of corona in China will peak from mid-December to the end of January. According to him, the ongoing corona wave in China is responsible for infecting millions of people every day. People in Shenzhen, Shanghai and Chongqing are more affected.

Vaccination rates in China are over 90 percent. However, while 57.9 percent of adults took booster doses, the figure was 42.3 percent among those over 80. The World Health Organization (WHO) does not have any information about how many people are being admitted to hospitals due to corona. The company has expressed concern about this.

Quoting the WHO, BBC reported that last Wednesday, China reported that no one died in their country due to Corona. But there is room for doubt about this information. In the past few days, hospitals in Beijing and other cities have been filled with corona patients. The head of WHO's emergency department. Michael Ryan said hospitals' ICUs are busy. But the Chinese government does not accept this.

In December 2019, the first coronavirus was detected in the city of Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. Soon it spread in the form of an epidemic in many countries of the world. According to the data of Worldometers, 66 lakh 84 thousand 936 people have died in the world till Saturday. Identified 66 crore 13 lakh 37 thousand. Maximum 11 lakh 15 thousand 913 deaths in Corona in the United States. 5 lakh 30 thousand 691 people died of this virus in India. Apart from this, 1 lakh 61 thousand 152 people died in France, 1 lakh 60 thousand 768 in Germany and 1 lakh 61 thousand 152 people in Brazil.
