Chinese authorities say there was no significant rise in the number of covid-19 infections during the Lunar New Year holiday. According to official data the number of serious cases and deaths are trending downward. FRANCE 24's correspondent in China Yena Lee has more from Beijing.
A large exit wave, sparked by the dumping of many restrictions seems to be weakening, with infection numbers falling, according to a health commission official.
In China, there are fears not just of a Covid wave but maybe a tsunami. Funeral parlours are overwhelmed and hospitals are packed with elderly patients on respirators. This comes after the lifting of China's zero-Covid restrictions following protests. The World Health Organization, meanwhile, is pointing the finger, saying China's official virus data is being under-reported.
China's Covid-19 data is not giving an accurate picture of the situation there and underrepresents the number of hospitalisations and deaths from the disease, a senior official at the World Health Organization said on Wednesday.
A health official in China says the country is limiting how it is recording COVID-19 deaths.
