28 January 20222 years ago babelfish

A new coronavirus epidemic broke out on the eve of the Beijing Winter Olympics. In the past two weeks, the Chinese capital has accumulated 75 confirmed cases on the spot. Beijing district governments have required residents to undergo mandatory nucleic acid testing, which has temporarily paralyzed the database for this type of testing. In addition, epidemic prevention departments in various provinces and cities are rigorously monitoring people who have returned from Beijing to celebrate Chinese New Year as a family.

According to the announcement of the National Health Commission of China, 63 new cases of pneumonia were confirmed nationwide on January 26, including 25 local, found in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, Fengtai District, Beijing, Heilongjiang, Hebei, Tianjin, Shanghai, Henan and Xinjiang. . Among them, there were 5 new local cases in Beijing. The day before, 14 new local cases were confirmed in Beijing and the confirmed cases were in Fengtai District and Xicheng District. At this point, tens of thousands of Beijing citizens are in tight lockdown due to the new wave of COVID that is affecting China. All while the Olympic athletes arrive and the local New Year is celebrated.

Officially, however, there are no deaths, which is a sign that it is Omicron or a miracle in the Chinese government's data processing….

Meanwhile, however, COVID, driven by Omicron, is also spreading elsewhere in the world, with Japan facing a new wave. But only China is chasing the zero COVID dream.
