China is presently seeing its greatest epidemic of the virus in two years, while most nations across the globe open up and restart ‘regular life’ with a drop in Covid-19 infections. In just one day, on Sunday alone, the country recorded 3,100 new regionally transmitted infections, the largest number in two years. The Omicron strain has been blamed by certain local authorities for the increase in instances. As a result of the increase in incidents, millions of people in various areas of China are now living in constant fear.
According to an article in the South China Morning Post, some provincial health officials have ascribed the increase in cases in China to the Omicron strain, which is highly infectious but exhibits less serious symptoms than the initial Covid-19 virus.
