China’s current COVID-19 outbreak is expected to reach a second peak in the coming months, according to Chinese epidemiologists. The first wave continues to engulf the country, killing large numbers of veteran Communist Party cadres and celebrities in various sectors and overwhelming China’s medical system.
The peak date for the second wave of intensive infections will occur between May and June this year. That prediction comes from Zhang Wenhong, director of China’s National Center for Infectious Diseases and chief of infectious diseases at Shanghai’s Huashan Hospital, according to a Jan. 10 report from Chinese news portal Sina.
