According to reports, there are 471,739 hospitalized patients, including 51,683 severe cases.

In addition, as of January 19, China has vaccinated a total of 3.48 billion doses of vaccines, and the total number of people vaccinated is about 1.31 billion, of which 820 million people have completed the first booster dose.

China's sudden cancellation of "clearance" in December last year means that hundreds of millions of people have returned to their hometowns for the Spring Festival holiday for the first time since the outbreak of the epidemic in 2019. Health experts predict that long-distance movement of people will undoubtedly accelerate the spread of the epidemic.

The report also stated that Chinese President Xi Jinping pointed out before the spring break that Wuhan pneumonia is currently spreading in rural areas. Xi Jinping emphasized that the whole country will continue to pay attention to the rural epidemic situation.

Health experts are worried that cities alone are now facing tragic situations such as collapse of medical resources and crematoriums cannot afford it, not to mention rural areas where medical facilities are scarce, the consequences may be disastrous.
