In China, where the Covid-19 epidemic began, cases are now on the rise again. The number of contaminations had never been so high for two years. In a country where zero tolerance is in force, the measures are immediate.
Like a sense of deja vu in China. These images are not from 2020 but from today. We’re in Shanghai, hite by a new wave of Covid. Without waiting, the authorities retaliated: closure of schools, cinemas, mass screening and confinement of certain residences. Strict measures that the inhabitants respect without complaining.
Bruno Mégarbane, head of the intensive care unit at Lariboisière hospital, explains that this wave of contaminations does not only occur in China. “There is New Zealand, Vietnam, Korea… All of these countries are facing a rebound in the epidemic”. “China has chosen the zero Covid policy and is therefore trying to impose a number of extremely drastic restriction measures on the population to prevent the spread of the virus”he adds.
