Amid the rising Covid cases in China, hospitals in Beijing - the country's capital - are running out of beds with patients lying on stretchers in hallways.
Patients quarrel with doctors to access drugs that are in short supply, like cough medicines and pain killers. Medics are overloaded; infected staff continue to work because of a scarcity of personnel.
COVID-19 latest: Infections have gone up in China due to the BF.7 variant of Omicron. Not only China, countries like the US, Brazil, Japan, and South Korea have also reported a spurt in coronavirus cases.
After changing the criteria used to record deaths due to the virus, China said no new deaths were recorded, sharply in contrast with the reports of packed crematoriums.
वायरस के प्रसार को रोकने के लिए चीनी सरकार ने हाई-टेक शेनझेन शहर को लॉकडाउन के तहत रखा। शहर की आबादी 17 मिलियन से अधिक है। शेन्ज़ेन सभी समुदायों, गांवों को सील कर देगा और सोमवार से रविवार तक बस और मेट्रो सेवाओं को निलंबित कर दिया गया।
