#China, December 20, 2022 – As predicted by health experts Covid-19 cases in the manufacturing hub of the globe, China, are increasing rapidly.  The country shut down in person school last week moving to the online modality that the rest of the world has largely moved away from.

And as cases increase doctors are being put at risk as well reports from international media indicate some Chinese doctors have been told to come into work despite being COVID-19 positive.

Caribbean nationals in China have described to Magnetic Media the strenuous process that existed under ZERO COVID with cell phone tracking and negative tests to enter every building.  Now that those have been loosened, some Chinese residents are panicking.  Much of it is owed to the messaging surrounding COVID-19 in the country.

Information in the nation is heavily censored, with official news coming from a few places, many of them state owned. Chinese residents for the most part have been told that the virus is extremely deadly and this is causing an influx of patients to hospitals even those who are only mildly ill.

The nation has turned its back, for now, on Zero COVID but managing any outbreaks could also prove a challenge that might affect the already tenuous global supply chain.
