Doctors and nurses are being called back into work from vacations in a Beijing hospital on the heels of China's COVID rule shift: Bloomberg
"On the ground, media reports and anecdotal evidence point to a scarcity of fever medicine as residents rush to stock up on essential drugs," analysts at Eurasia Group, a political risk consultancy, wrote on Friday."Residents in Beijing are lining up for hours to access fever clinics following the new relaxation measures.
State media is calling on people not to call the emergency medical hotline in Beijing unless they are seriously ill because it could hold up the calls of those who really need help, per Bloomberg. It could get worse as the country heads into the Chinese New Year travel season, which is set to start in January.
"An anticipated movement surge in the coming weeks, coupled with a shortfall in elderly immunization at least in the near term, will risk a spike in infections throughout China and potentially severe strains on the public health system and already short-staffed community-level clinics," the Eurasia Group analysts wrote.
