[NYPOST] Kan Quancheng, director of the health commission for central Henan province, said that as of Jan. 6, the infection rate was 89%.With Henan’s population being about 99.4 million, the data would suggest that 88.5 million residents have been positive for COVID.
Visits to fever clinics hit their peak on Dec. 19 — mere weeks after China began easing its brutal "zero-COVID" policies.
After that surge late last month, the number of COVID cases "showed a continuous downward trend," Kan said during a presser Monday.
The data from Henan are vastly different from the COVID figures China’s central government has shared since the start of December. According to officials, only 120,000 people out of 1.4 billion have been infected, and only 30 have died since the end of "zero-COVID."
