China has stuck to its policy, despite official figures showing the vast majority of the more than 100,000 cases in Shanghai in the past month showed no symptoms of Covid.
One reason put forward for this is concern about whether China’s “patchy hospital network” could cope with the sudden spike in infections.
According to
The Washington Post, researchers at Peking University estimated China would face a “colossal outbreak,” with more than 630,000 infections a day if it were to reopen, and that was before Omicron became predominant.
