In November, China saw a record increase in Covid – 19 , outbreaks
China had a record rise in regional COVID-19 outbreaks in November. The authorities implemented partial lockdowns in some regions as well as daily PCR testing for inhabitants as a result of the deterioration in the epidemiological situation.
Restrictive measures were specifically tightened beginning on November 24 in a number of major Chinese cities, including Beijing and Shanghai.
In light of this, there were widespread protests in a number of Chinese cities, including Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Wuhan, and others. The rioters asked that lockdowns be immediately lifted, that routine PCR testing be stopped, and that COVID-19 restrictions be relaxed.
According to information released on Friday, the COVID-19 outbreak in China, which is currently the greatest in the world, may have affected as many as 37 million individuals in a single day last week. It was observed that the coronavirus was expected to have infected up to 248 million people, or nearly 18% of the population, in the first 20 days of December.
The Covid virus is ravaging regions of China, and millions of people are battling to acquire medicine – from the most basic cold medications to use at home to stronger antivirals for patients in hospitals.
Many people in China, gripped by grief and worry, demand a national reckoning over the strict Covid policy. According to reports, holding the government responsible may be a fruitless endeavour.
