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.
