‘Zero Covid’ Policy Could Last Five Years, Beijing’s Top Communist Official Reportedly Says_我的网站

A |     According to media reports, the newspaper Beijing Daily published a story on Monday afternoon quoting Cai Qi, the Communist Party of China’s secretary in Beijing and a former mayor of the city.,“In the next five years, Beijing will unremittingly grasp the normalization of epidemic prevention and control,” the story originally quoted Cai as saying, according to the UK Guardian.,Now, the article only says the city will “make unremitting efforts to normalize epidemic prevention and control” to “control quickly and resolutely block the transmission channels of the epidemic.”,It goes on to note the various efforts that must be improved, including a “normalized nucleic acid testing and key screening” process, regularizing cleaning and inspection of public spaces, and controlling entry and exit of the vast city of 21.5 million, which is deeply connected with the surrounding Hebei Province and nearby coastal metropolis of Tianjin.,China’s Economy Got $26 Billion Boost From Gov Buying 11 Billion Covid-19 Tests - Report13 June, 22:01 GMT,China adopted the “Zero Covid” policy in 2021, when the arrival of the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, brought an increasingly stubborn new outbreak. However, the principles underlying it - that mass lockdowns, with logistical networks funneling food, supplies and medicine to residents under quarantine while medical workers test the entire population for infection - were forged in early 2020, when China fought off the world’s first outbreak of the virus.,Throughout 2021, the policy was extremely successful, limiting mainland China to just two COVID-19 deaths that year. By comparison, at least 415,000 Americans died of the virus in 2021.,However, it wasn’t until early 2022 that the Omicron variant, even more infectious than Delta and with a penchant for causing asymptomatic cases, really put China’s “Zero Covid” policy to the test. Between the beginning of April and the beginning of June, the Chinese government spent some $26 billion on COVID-19 tests as huge cities like Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Xi’an were placed in lockdown for weeks at a time and their tens of millions of residents tested several times in an attempt to track down, isolate and treat all cases of the disease.,40% of Kids Aged 0-3 Suffer From Long COVID, Which Lasts at Least Two Months - Lancet Report23 June, 12:37 GMT,Despite its success at preventing mass death among its 1.4 billion people, the Chinese government has been extensively criticized by the West, which has variously accused them of lying about the extent of the outbreak, terrorizing its population with the lockdowns, and claiming that the policy in unsustainable. When World Health Organization (WHO) Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus suggested in May that China would be better off if it abandoned “Zero Covid,” Beijing fired back.,“The purpose [of Zero Covid] is solely to protect people’s life and health to the greatest extent possible and underpin sustained, sound and steady economic and social development,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said at the time. “In China, we have the foundation, the conditions and the capability to achieve dynamic zero-COVID. We have every confidence in winning this hard battle and making greater contributions to the united global response.”,A study published in May by researchers at Shanghai’s Fudan University and at Indiana University in the United States warned that if China’s “Zero Covid” policy were removed and the respiratory virus allowed to spread unimpeded across Chinese society - as has happened in most other countries - it would “generate a tsunami of Covid-19 cases” that would kill at least 1.5 million people.,Just over 5,200 people in China have died of COVID-19 since it appeared in late 2019, while about 6.3 million have died globally, including 1 million in the United States.。    　　台风“白海豚”8月9日两次登陆浙江后，10日13时离开浙江，开始北上西进。　　中央气象台11日17时对台风“白海豚”停止编号，18时解除台风蓝色预警。但是受“白海豚”残余系统和冷空气共同影响，预计11至15日，河南等十多个省份有暴雨或大暴雨，豫鲁皖部分地区有特大暴雨。　　各地各部门多措并举筑牢防汛防台风安全堤坝，坚决维护人民群众生命财产安全和社会大局稳定。　　综合记者报道　　编导：于跃　　音视频部制作。
