A World Health Organization (WHO) scientist said the rise in Covid-19 cases in China casts doubt on the end of the global emergency.
“The question is whether it can be called post-pandemic when such a significant part of the world is entering the second wave,” said Dutch virologist Marion Koopmans, a member of a WHO committee responsible for advising on the coronavirus state of emergency. quoted by the British newspaper The Guardian🇧🇷
“It is clear that we are in a very different phase [da pandemia]but in my opinion, this vacancy in China is a box of surprises”, he added.
China has imposed a very strict prevention policy since the start of the pandemic, managing to keep the numbers of infections and deaths low compared to other countries.
However, the relaxation of the rules in recent weeks has changed the situation, with infection rates reaching high levels.
