Authorities in east China’s Xinjiang province announced on Sunday that they are currently dealing with about one million new cases of Covid-19 a day and expect the number to double in the coming days, while the National Health Commission in China has stopped publishing data related to the Corona virus.
Xinjiang is one of the few regions with an estimated recent increase in infections, including asymptomatic cases.
And the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention said that “no deaths from the Corona virus have been recorded in the past five days”, despite the record number of infections recorded.
On the other hand, the numbers recorded across China became incomplete after the National Health Commission stopped recording asymptomatic infections, which made it difficult to track infections.
On Sunday, the committee also stopped publishing daily infections, which the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention then started publishing.
And the National Health Commission said that “we will not publish daily information on the epidemic from today.”
He added, “The Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention will publish information related to the epidemic for reference and research purposes.”
China limits its classification of Corona deaths to those who died of pneumonia or lung failure due to infection with the virus, which has astounded health experts around the world.
The World Health Organization has not received any data from China on new hospitalizations with the coronavirus since Beijing eased its restrictions.
The organization says the data gap could be caused by authorities having difficulty counting cases in the world’s most populous country.
Interestingly, with the growing dissatisfaction of the population, in early December, China abandoned the core pillars of the “zero Covid-19” policy to contain the epidemic, and also canceled the procedures for closures, examinations , quarantine and travel restrictions.
