BEIJING, 19 JAN – China said it has passed the peak of severe cases of the Covid-19 surge in all its provinces based on visits to fever clinics, emergency departments and in the number of serious patients in the hospitals, in the run-up to the great exodus of the Lunar New Year holiday. This is what Guo Yanhong, director of the National Health Commission’s Emergency Medical Department said, speaking at a briefing of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism set up by the central government. The trend, Guo added, has made it possible to ease pressure on the national health system. (HANDLE).
