China reported nearly 60,000 deaths in people who had Covid since early December and said the “emergency peak” of its latest surge appears to have passed.
A nurse works as elderly patients with COVID symptoms receive intravenous drips in a hospital in Fuyang, China on Jan. 4.BEIJING — China on Saturday reported nearly 60,000 deaths in people who had COVID-19 since early December followingand said the “emergency peak” of its latest surge appears to have passed.
The report would more than double China’s official COVID-19 death toll to 10,775 since the disease was first detected in the central city of Wuhan in late 2019. China has counted only deaths from pneumonia or respiratory failure in its official COVID-19 death toll, a narrow definition that excludes many deaths that would be attributed to COVID-19 in other places.
The peak of the latest infection wave appears to have passed based on the decline in the number of patients visiting fever clinics, said a National Health Commission official, Jiao Yahui. China kept its infection rate and deaths lower than those of the United States and some other countries at the height of the pandemic with a “zero-COVID” strategy that aimed to isolate every case. That shut down access to some cities, kept millions of people at home and sparked angry protests.
