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