US imposes Covid testing for visitors from China

                                                                                                                   

          After Beijing announced that it would reopen its borders next week, the United States of America became the latest nation to impose Covid testing on visitors from China.

India, Taiwan, Italy, and Japan have also announced tests that must be taken, but Australia and the United Kingdom have said there are no new rules for travelers from China.

China will open its borders to the outside world on January 8 for the first time in three years.

But beware as a result of the country's ongoing Covid surge.

Although China has officially reported approximately 5,000 cases per day this week, analysts contend that the daily caseload is closer to a million and that the numbers are vastly undercounted. According to reports, hospitals in major cities are overcrowded, and people are having trouble finding basic medicines.

In a recent interview, Dr. Chandrakant Lahariya, an Indian epidemiologist and health systems specialist, stated to the BBC, "The infection surge in China is on expected lines." Cases will rise if there is a population that is susceptible but has not been exposed to the virus. For the rest of the world, including India, nothing has changed."

Wang Wenbin, China's unfamiliar service representative, said on Wednesday that "Right now the advancement of China's pandemic circumstance is by and large unsurprising and taken care of".

According to him, China believes that all Covid responses ought to be "science-based and proportionate" and ought "not to affect normal people-to-people exchange." He said that the situation was being "hyped up" and that "China's Covid policy adjustments" were being "distorted" by some countries and media.

China's controversial zero-Covid policy, which President Xi Jinping personally supported, has ended with the country's decision to reopen its borders. Beijing insisted on extensive testing and stringent lockdowns to reduce the number of cases to zero, even as the rest of the world opened up and found ways to live with the virus.

People became exhausted and enraged as the economy suffered, and in November, rare protests against Mr. Xi and his government took place in the streets.
