China New Outbreak

The outbreak, dubbed "white lung syndrome", has sparked speculation online of a new pandemic threat four years after Covid-19 first emerged in China.

The spike in respiratory illnesses that China is currently going through is not as high as before the COVID-19 pandemic, a World Health Organisation official said, reiterating that no new or unusual pathogens had been found in the recent cases.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has asked China to share more data about the pneumonia cases.

China, still reeling from the devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, now faces a new threat: a mysterious pneumonia outbreak sweeping through its educational institutions.

Thousands of Chinese took to the streets to mark the New Year as authorities and state media sought to reassure the public that the COVID-19 outbreak sweeping across the country was under control and nearing its peak.

Thousands gathered in central Wuhan on Saturday night to count down to the start of what many hoped would be a much better year after a "tough" 2022 filled with lockdowns and in December a major new outbreak of the coronavirus.

New Year's Eve in China prompted an outpouring of reflection online, some of it critical, about the strict zero-COVID policy the country adhered to for almost three years.

China is currently dealing with its biggest coronavirus outbreak and people are finding new ways to deal with the growing spread of the virus.

Nearly 37 million people in China may have been infected with Covid-19 on a single day this week, according to estimates from the government's top health authority, making the country's outbreak by far the world's largest.

Amid anti-government views and posts in the wake of the massive public protests across the country over Covid lockdowns and a fresh outbreak, China released new guidelines on the censorship of online comments and 'likes'.

The World Health Organization has received no data from China on new COVID-19 hospitalisations since Beijing lifted its zero-COVID policy, prompting some health experts to question whether it might be hiding information on the extent of its outbreak.

China is likely experiencing 1 million Covid infections and 5,000 virus deaths every day as it grapples with what is expected to be the biggest outbreak the world has ever seen, according to a new analysis.

Dozens of hearses queued outside a Beijing crematorium on Wednesday, even as China reported no new COVID-19 deaths in its growing outbreak, sparking criticism of its virus accounting as the capital braces for a surge of severe cases.

China said Wednesday that not a single person had died of the Covid-19 the previous day, after changing the criteria for recording virus deaths to mean most are no longer counted.

A fresh Covid outbreak in China has rung alarm bells in India. The Centre has outlines d a series of preparatory steps and the government is taking preparatory steps that include stepping up genome sequencing to watch out for a new variant.
