VIVA – A reputable expert on infectious diseases affecting the upper respiratory tract, Prof. Zhong Nanshan, predicts that the southern region of China will recover from the COVID-19 pandemic by mid-2023.
Before this, the entrance to the international arrival flow will experience a peak wave of COVID-19 cases in January-February 2023, Zhong told the press on Saturday, December 10, 2022.
Researchers have just completed an assessment of the latest COVID-19 developments. They reminded the importance of preventing the severity caused by the virus by promoting vaccination.
According to Prof. Zhong Nanshan, it usually takes two weeks for the vaccine to work effectively for preventing widespread transmission during the Chinese New Year holiday homecoming season. Professor also thinks the Omicron variant isn’t terrible because 99 percent of cases can be cured within seven to ten days.

By analyzing cases in several major cities in China, Prof. Zhong revealed that the severity of Omicron is less than one percent. However, he warned that the COVID-19 pandemic is not over unless the pathogen is drastically reduced.
"This is the future trend of coronavirus evolution," Prof. Zhong Nanshan remarked.
Moreover, he also said that it is inappropriate to use death rates from other regions to estimate that hundreds of thousands of people will die in mainland China due to the latest wave of cases.
"I don't believe that will happen. The vaccination rate in mainland China has reached 68.86 percent. It is not enough, but it can prevent deaths on a large scale," he said.
National Health Commission (NHC) in China on Saturday recorded 2,338 positive cases and 8,477 asymptomatic cases across the country. Then, on Saturday, according to NHC data, there were 39,391 positive patients still receiving medical treatment and observation.
