Covid Cases Skyrocket in Beijing

The sudden removal of the “zero Covid policy” has China scrambling in a massive outburst of Covid 19 cases. Health authorities have determined the cases as “impossible” to track, and have even stopped counting asymptomatic cases in daily tallies. Authorities are urging citizens to avoid emergency healthcare centers unless absolutely necessary.

The National Health Commission officially reported 2,291 symptomatic cases on Tuesday all across China, however many believe this is not accurate considering the drastic spike in cases in Beijing. This sudden reopening of businesses and schools has also helped increase the amount of positive cases. Hospitals and healthcare facilities are shell shocked and understaffed and underprepared for the masses that have come in seeking treatment.
