Beijing: Once again, people have lost their lives due to the corona epidemic spreading in a new form in China. China’s top respiratory disease expert, Zhong Nanshan, made an alarming prediction at a biotech conference in Guangzhou that new waves of coronavirus infections are coming to China. Due to the spread of Corona’s new Omicron variant XBB, there is a possibility of registering 65 million cases of Corona every week by the end of June. Since the end of April, this new variant XBB has been found spreading corona infection afresh in China.

The World Health Organization also urged the development of a vaccine against the XBB variant.

According to Bloomberg’s report, due to the XBB variant, four crore new cases of corona will be registered every week by the end of May. Which will reach the peak of six and a half crore cases after a month. China, with a population of 1.4 billion, eased zero-Covid restrictions in Beijing nearly six months ago, and since the Chinese Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stopped releasing weekly numbers of coronavirus infections earlier this month, no Don’t know if the situation of Corona is not correct in China

According to Zhong’s estimate, the new wave of corona infection will be more devastating than the corona wave that came in January last year. At that time, more than 35 million cases of different variants of Omicron were reported daily. Due to which the hospitals and crematoriums became full. China has given initial approval to develop two new vaccines to deal with this new wave of Corona. Four other vaccines will also be approved soon. Zhong said that we will be at the forefront of the international level by developing more effective vaccines. Zhong said that the wave of the new variant of Corona in China started in the middle of April, which will reach its peak at the end of June, reaching six and a half million cases every week. Zhong said his predictions are based on data models that may not be accurate.

The recently issued advisory by the World Health Organization (WHO) has also recommended targeting the XBB variant in the Corona booster shot this year. Emphasis has been placed on developing new formulations that elicit antibodies against the XBB 1.5 or XBB 1.6 variants in response to infection. This advisory group has recommended not to include the real strain of corona in future vaccines. Because this strain is no longer spreading in humans.
