Due to the situation of Covid in China, the global emergency is not likely to end soon

The devastating wave of COVID-19 in China, according to experts from the World Health Organization and a number of significant scientists, makes it impossible to quickly lift the global emergency status.

After China recently abandoned the zero-covid policy in the wake of widespread protests, experts shared this opinion.

A sudden abandonment of the "zero-covid" policy, according to experts, could cause over a million deaths from illness in China in 2023.

According to experts, China's zero-covid policy helped the nation of 1.4 billion people maintain low rates of new cases and deaths, but the easing of restrictions also altered the global environment.

When one of the most significant regions of the world has just begun the second wave of COVID, can we say that the epidemic is over? asked Marion Koopmans, a member of the World Health Organization's COVID Emergency Committee

The World Health Organization's director-general, Dr. Tedros Adhanom, declared that the epidemic's end was imminent in September 2022.

He expressed optimism that the world emergency would end in 2023 while speaking to reporters last week.

Due to a sharp decline in cases, the Covid restrictions were lifted in the majority of countries around the world in 2022.

At the end of January 2023, a committee from the World Health Organization will make recommendations regarding the emergency alert level.

Five COVID-related deaths were reported in China on December 20, but there were none on December 21.

worldwide experts' caution

After many of the restrictions put in place to stop the spread of the virus are lifted, according to a University of Washington study, China could see more than 1 million COVID-19 deaths in 2023.

According to the study, China might experience some issues in the coming months.

If the virus spreads in China in this way, other experts cautioned that it might mutate genetically and take on a more dangerous form.

Tom Peacock, an expert at Imperial College London, said it was not yet clear whether the recent wave in China was a result of some sort of coronavirus or the freedom gained after the sanctions were lifted.
