Covid News LIVE Updates: As per a source, China's lack of Covid prevention strategies might result in things similar to those seen in 2020.

Live updates on Covid News: The Hong Kong Post reported that China is no longer taking preventive steps to stop the country's Covid spread and is letting Chinese citizens to roam and travel as they like, adding that this might culminate in a situation similar to 2020 when the infection swept around the world from Wuhan.

   In order to acquire immune systems and shift its attention back to economic development, certain media reports claim that China is attempting to infect its whole population with Covid.

   However, reports indicate that the situation is terrible on the ground and that numbers of individuals are dying their life.

However, in an attempt to prevent the spread of the disease, the Chinese government has rejected offers from Western nations to provide Beijing with stronger and more powerful vaccinations.

   According to a source, the European Union has offered to give China Covid vaccinations to assist China in containing the major illness epidemic. The offer was made in response to the Chinese-manufactured Sinovac and Sinopharm vaccines' failure to induce immunity against Covid, according to the article.

   Additionally, according to sources, the current Covid wave in China has left hospitals overcrowded and cemeteries packed, making it difficult to control the spread in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Wuhan, and other major locations.

   CNN reports that since the government abandoned its "Zero-Covid" policy, Covid cases have increased in China. 

   Since mass testing was stopped, Chinese officials have reported having difficulty keeping track of the country's Covid outbreaks.

   According to CNN, the World Health Organization (WHO) charged China on Wednesday of downplaying the seriousness of its Covid pandemic.

   At a media event on Wednesday in Geneva, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stated: "We continue to encourage China for more quick, frequent, trustworthy data on hospitalisations and fatalities, as well as more thorough, real-time viral sequencing."

   According to Ghebreyesus, who was mentioned by CNN, "WHO is worried about the danger to life in China and has emphasized the need of vaccination, including booster doses, to prevent against hospitalizations, serious illness, and death."

   In his New Year's address, Chinese President Xi Jinping defended his Covid policy, calling it "rational and well-thought-out."

   However, Xi failed to mention the government's lack of preparation and the abrupt end to the "Zero-Covid" policy, which resulted in an increase in cases across the nation, according to Geo-Politik.

   He said that a "science-based and targeted approach" was used to adopt the Covid reaction.

   According to Geo-Politik, Xi said that "we have adapted our Covid response in light of the evolving scenario using a science-based and targeted strategy to protect the life and health of the people to the greatest extent possible."

   According to the Geo-Politik, Xi emphasised that authorities and members of the public, notably community workers and medical experts, "bravely stayed to their posts through it."
