In what could be considered as the world’s largest Covid outbreak, China has recorded over 37 million new Covid cases in a single day this week.
While the actual number of cases aren’t reported extensively by the government authorities, conservative estimates are to be used as the yardstick here.
It is estimated that close to 18% of the population has been infected by Covid in the first 20 days of December itself.
The government has permitted infected individuals to return to work in order to keep the economical procession going.
China is now reeling under the biggest Covid wave in the world.
