The #Beijing municipal government has called for immediate restoration of normal production & living conditions, saying #COVID patients who have recovered from illness & have been released from home isolation can return to work without the need for nucleic acid & antigen testing.
The administration of #Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu Province in east China, declared that beginning on Dec. 19, 2 million antipyretic tablets will be continually released to the market each day, with a limit of 6 tablets per customer & can be purchased with medical insurance.
In east #China's #Zhejiang Province, the local government punished a number of retailers
which illegally raised the prices of materials related to the COVID epidemic, with the biggest price hike being 600%.
"The peak of infection in this #COVID epidemic in #Beijing is not a normal peak; it is a 'tsunami' of epidemics that we have all felt over the last week," Wang Guangfa, a respiratory disease expert from Peking University First Hospital, told Yixuejie in a recent interview.
He warned that the next week or two in Beijing will see a surge in serious illnesses, so medical facilities should prepare early. He explained that COVID has the unique characteristic of causing severe disease after 5-7 days of infection, so the peak of severe disease will be
later than the peak of infection. Furthermore, there is a time course for the aggravation of the underlying disease caused by COVID infection.
1st, we must increase the number of critical care beds. 2nd, it is imperative to get more ventilators ASAP. 3rd, the critical care team should be organized, which China has rich experience. 4th, there should be increased knowledge of critical illness prevention, according to Wang
The 10th edition of China’s COVID-19 control protocols will be released soon, which will benefit economic development on the basis of active epidemic prevention, China’s top respiratory disease expert Zhong Nanshan said during a lecture last Thursday globaltimes.cn/page/202212/12…
Zhong has called for greater efforts to inoculate more people with COVID-19 vaccine booster shots, especially with the Spring Festival travel rush approaching.
