Large-scale COVID reemergence 'unlikely' despite uptick in cases

China Daily  

The risk of a new large-scale COVID-19 outbreak in China in the short term is minimal, despite a recent uptick in new infections, according to health experts. Wang Liping, a researcher at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said during a group interview that the recent increase in new cases is unlikely to overwhelm healthcare systems or disrupt public life. Chen Cao, another researcher from the China CDC, said that infections with the XBB strain accounted for 95.6 percent of all imported cases and 83.6 percent of all domestic cases in early May. Wang Guiqiang, head of the infectious disease department at Peking University First Hospital, said that people who were infected during the previous wave of the epidemic late last year still harbor immunity against the disease. Li Tongzeng, chief physician of the respiratory and infectious diseases department of Beijing YouAn Hospital, told Health Times that his department had witnessed a recent increase in COVID-19 cases.
