British-based health data firm Airfinity last week estimates China is experiencing more than a million infections and 5,000 deaths a day.

BEIJING, China – The eastern Chinese province of Zhejiang is battling around 1 million new daily COVID-19 infections, a number expected to double in the days ahead, the provincial government said on Sunday, December 25.

Nationwide figures from China had become incomplete as the National Health Commission stopped reporting asymptomatic infections, making it harder to track cases. On Sunday the commission stopped reporting daily figures, which the China CDC then published. The World Health Organization has received no data from China on new COVID hospitalizations since Beijing eased its restrictions. The organization says the data gap might be due to the authorities struggling to tally cases in the world’s most populous country.

The country’s healthcare system has been under enormous strain, with staff being asked to work while sick and even retired medical workers in rural communities being rehired to help grass-root efforts, according to state media.
