The National Health Office said that the number of new local infections recorded on Wednesday amounted to 31,454, including 27,517 asymptomatic cases.
This comes despite the strict measures imposed by the authorities, including widespread checks and restrictions on movement in a number of regions China.
This toll is higher than the record of 29,390 injuries recorded in mid-April, when it was Shanghaithe world’s third most populous city, was under lockdown and its residents were struggling to buy food and access medical care.
What is happening in China?
• China, with a population of more than 1.2 billion people, is the only major economic power in the world that is still trying to stop the spread of the virus in the country, by closing entire cities and putting those in contact with patients in strict quarantine.
• In recent days, Beijing has witnessed an unprecedented outbreak of the epidemic, since the Corona virus began to spread about 3 years ago.
• The second economic power in the world adheres to the implementation of a policy "Zero covid"by imposing sudden lockdown measures, widespread testing and strict quarantine to control the spread of the epidemic, a policy that worked in the early stages of the spread of the virus.
• The recent wave of infections is a test of the resilience of this policy, at a time when officials are seeking to avoid a city-wide lockdown, as happened in Shanghai for two months in April.
• While the capital has so far avoided a full lockdown, certain buildings have been placed under lockdown while residents queued for testing coronaAs many public places require residents to obtain a test with a negative result of no more than 24 hours as a condition for entry.
