The World Health Organization said on Sunday it was not recommending any further doses of vaccine to counter the new spread of Corona.
The organization said the mutant currently circulating in China is one of the micron mutants and includes some of the most dangerous characteristics to a large extent and spreads fastest even among those who have received the vaccine, according to Dr. Amjad Al-Khouli, head of international health regulation at the World Health Organization.
Al-Khouli described China’s new mutant as rapidly spreading and low-risk.
And the government of east China’s Zhejiang province, one of the big industrial regions near Shanghai, revealed on Sunday that it is currently facing
About one million new cases of Covid-19 caused by the Corona virus per day, and the number is expected to double in the coming days.
Despite a record increase in reported infections nationwide, the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention reported on Sunday that no deaths from the virus had been recorded on the mainland in the five days to Saturday.
Citizens and experts have called for more accurate data as the number of infections soared after Beijing made sweeping changes to its zero-COVID policy that led to strict lockdowns on hundreds of millions of its citizens and hit the second-largest economy of the world.
Numbers recorded across China became incomplete after the National Health Commission stopped recording asymptomatic infections, making it difficult to track infections.
On Sunday, the committee stopped announcing daily infections, which the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention then began publishing.
Zhejiang is one of the few provinces with an estimated recent increase in infections, including asymptomatic cases.
China limits its classification of Corona deaths to those who have died of pneumonia or lung failure due to infection with the virus, which has surprised health experts around the world.

The World Health Organization has not received any data from China on new hospitalizations for COVID-19 since Beijing eased its restrictions.
The organization said the data gap could be caused by the difficulty authorities are having in counting cases in the world’s largest country in terms of population.
