According to media reports, the COVID-19 outbreak in Beijing, Heilongjiang and several other cities in China is still not under control, despite the country's claim of a zero-Covid policy.
The Covid cases in China's many provinces and cities including Heilongjiang have been rising despite Beijing's claim of "Zero COVID-19 Policy" in the country.
According to media reports, the COVID-19 outbreak in Beijing, Heilongjiang and several other cities is still not under control, while the infection cases in nine cities - Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Yunfu, Huizhou, Heyuan, Meizhou, Baise, Nanning and Shaoyang -- and inside three southern provinces of China -- Guangdong, Guangxi and Hunan -- is growing at a rapid rate.
This highlights the risk of another outbreak of the pandemic due to the huge mobility of the people during China's Spring festival.
Wang Guangfa, a respiratory expert at Peking University First Hospital, had told the Global Times that this year's Spring Festival travel rush comes amid sporadic outbreaks, similar to last year.
