There was chaos in China, the number of Covid crossed 90 crores

According to a study by Peking University, as of January 11, about 900 million people in China have been infected with the corona virus. This information has been given in media reports. According to the BBC report, the report estimates that 64 per cent of the country's population has the virus. Gansu province tops the rank, where 91 per cent of people are reported to be infected, followed by Yunnan and Qinghai. A top Chinese epidemiologist also warned that cases in rural China would rise during the new year.

Zeng Guang, former head of the Chinese Center for Disease Control, said the peak of the Covid wave in China is expected to last for two to three months. Millions of Chinese are heading to their hometowns ahead of the new year for the first time since the pandemic began. After leaving zero covid, China has stopped giving daily covid figures but due to the spread of the virus across the country, the number of Covid patients in the hospitals of big cities has increased.

Caixin news outlet reports that it is 'time to focus on rural areas'. He said that many elderly, sick and disabled in rural areas are already being left behind in terms of Covid treatment. China's central Henan province is the only province that has given details of the infection rate. Earlier this month a health official there said nearly 90 percent of the population had Covid, with similar rates seen in urban and rural areas. However, government officials say that many provinces and cities have passed the peak of infection.
