Baby tested at least 74 times for COVID-19
COVID Zero measures have also reached Ruili, a small southeastern city near the remote border with Myanmar. Citizens have experienced four lockdowns within the past seven months. Local media in Ruili reported about a baby who had been tested at least 74 times for coronavirus since September 2020, when mass testing of cities and populations was China’s means of fighting the pandemic.
All 268,000 residents are banned from leaving as infections keep spreading from Myanmar, which is having a hard time managing coronavirus cases. Dai Rongli, Ruili’s former deputy mayor, asked the government to reconsider its oppressive COVID Zero policy. He posted on social medial to say that the extended lockdowns “have sent the city into an impasse.”
Ruili can only recover amid the pandemic if it is allowed to “resume production and essential businesses.”
“The government should learn its lessons in balancing the big picture with the local situation as well as people’s livelihoods and COVID control,” added Rongli. He said that Ruili needs help to effectively curb infections and that the restrictions were hard on small businesses.
Despite these cries for help, it seems unlikely that China will ease restrictions, especially since President Xi Jinping is slated to speak at an upcoming key import conference in Shanghai and the Winter Olympics is taking place near Beijing in less than 100 days.
Jinping hasn’t left China since the pandemic began. He did not attend the Group of Twenty (G20) nations meeting in Rome, along with the climate talks ongoing in Scotland.
Back in August, Zeng Guang, the former chief scientist of epidemiology at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, told local media that the country insists on the COVID Zero policy because of low vaccination rates and the need for “updated” coronavirus vaccines.
To date, China has fully vaccinated over 75 percent of its 1.4 billion people with homegrown inoculations. The country is currently giving boosters to adults.
Most of the vaccines and boosters come from Sinovac Biotech Ltd. and the state-backed Sinopharm, but both vaccines use traditional inactivated vaccine technology that is ineffective at stopping transmission and infection.
