CHINA-HEALTH EMERGENCY: SECOND WAVE OF COVID-19 LIKELY IN WINTER
|
Zhang Wenhong, who heads Shanghai’s Covid-19 clinical expert team and directs the infectious disease department at one of the city’s top hospitals, said during an online livestream broadcast by popular short-video platform Kuaishou on April 11, that while countries may be able to bring the deadly pandemic under adequate control by autumn, the coming winter may bring a “second wave” of infections in China and elsewhere. Zhang Wenhong said, however, that China’s experience with disease control means any resurgence in infections later this year will be manageable and China will not need to resort to drastic measures again.
