The World Health Organization (WHO) has said that amid an ongoing resurgence of the Covid-19 pandemic in China, hospitals across the country seem to be filling up.
Addressing the media here on Wednesday, Michael Ryan, Executive Director of the WHO’s Health Emergencies Programme, said: „In China, what’s been reported is relatively low numbers of cases in ICUs, but anecdotally ICUs are filling up.
„We’ve been saying this for weeks that this highly infectious virus was always going to be very hard to stop completely, with just public health and social measures.“
The top health official’s remarks come despite Chinese authorities saying that the number of people in hospitals due to Covid-19 are „relatively low“, the BBC reported.
