[Financial Channel/Comprehensive Report] A new study in the British journal "Natural Medicine" found that by the end of January, almost all of Beijing's 22 million population will be infected with the new crown pneumonia virus, reflecting the rapid spread of the epidemic in China.

About 92% of people in the Chinese capital had been infected with the virus by the end of January, and 76% had been infected by Dec. 22, 2022, according to the study published Friday in the journal Nature Medicine.

According to the study, the spread of the virus accelerated in China after Beijing loosened controls in November and abruptly abandoned its zero-out policy in December.

The study found that with the policy change, the virus reproduction rate increased to 3.44, meaning one infected person could infect 3.44 others.

Since Beijing decided to live with the virus, the virus has spread rapidly through Chinese households, dampening economic activity in the country and sparking reports of overwhelmed hospitals and crematoria.
