Corona virus is once again wreaking havoc in China. A record 5,280 new cases were registered here on the last day. According to the National Health Commission (NHC), this is the largest number of new cases found in a day since the beginning of COVID-19. In view of the increasing infection, lockdown has been imposed in about 10 cities and counties. There is also a lockdown in Shenzhen, which is called the tech hub of China. 75 new cases have been found here on the last day. In this way about 17 million ((1.70 crore)) people have been ‘imprisoned’ in their homes.
The Omicron variant of Corona is spreading very fast across China. According to NHC data, this time the worst hit of Corona has been on Jilin province. More than 3,000 domestic transmissions were found here on Monday. On the previous day, 1,337 cases of infection were reported in many cities of mainland China.
People from Shenzhen to Qingdao are getting infected
People from Shenzhen to Qingdao are getting infected on the mainland of China. However, this number is far less than the cases of infection coming to Europe or America or Hong Kong city. There were 32,000 cases of corona virus in Hong Kong on Sunday. The government has indicated that it will maintain its strict strategy to prevent the spread of infection in time.
Most cases are BA2 variants of the Omicron variant.
Zhang Wenhong, a leading infectious disease specialist at a hospital affiliated with Shanghai Fudan University, said on Monday that cases of infection in the mainland are at an early stage and could see a significant increase. On Monday, 41 new cases were reported in Shanghai. Most of these cases of infection are of the BA2 form of Omicron form, also known as ‘stealth Omicron’.
