Coronavirus wave started again in China

 
As many countries across the world open up and resume 'normal life' with a fall in Covid-19 cases, China is currently seeing its worst outbreak of the virus in two years. China confronts its worst nationwide Covid-19 outbreak since the start of the pandemic in 2019 December. China records 3400 new covid-19 cases on March 13^th that forced the nation to impose new curbs amid the worst COVID outbreak in two years. It’s almost more than triple of China’s covid cases in two years. The spike is driven by asymptomatic infections of the virus Omicron variant.

The fresh wave is caused by management oversight by quarantine hotels. Chinese authorities concentrated on high-tech Shenzhen city to contain the spread of pandemics. The city has a 17.5 million population. Apple supplier Foxconn shuts plants as the Covid outbreak in China grows. 42% of Apple hardware is made in China. Production has stopped in the tech and manufacturing hub in Shenzhen after the city is put under lockdown. Changchun, the city is located in the northeastern part of China where 9 million residents were subjected to lockdown. They are to undergo three rounds of mass testing.

China has proudly announced that it has successfully implemented the Zero Covid policy when compared to other nations in the world. The country’s covid strategy has come under question once after Covid-19 is surging again in the country. The situation in Hong Kong further deteriorates. The infection numbers are low in comparison to various other countries which are co-existing with Covid, such as the UK, but authorities are enforcing a 'zero-Covid' policy that aims to find and quarantine every infected person in China.
