China will once again allow its citizens to travel abroad, starting on Jan. 8, amid its latest and potentially biggest COVID-19 outbreak. But that could result in significant health challenges and more pathogenic COVID-19 strains, Dr. Xiaoxu Sean Lin, a microbiologist and assistant professor in the Biomedical Science Department at Feitian College, stated in an interview that aired on Newsmakers by NTD and The Epoch Times on Dec. 28.

“I hope there’s no more pathogenic strains,” Lin stated. “But I think the likelihood right now is much higher than before.”
