Although COVID-19 infections in some spaces have risen slightly recently, the chance of large-scale outbreaks occurring in the near term is low, a disease official said Wednesday.
He Qinghua, an official with the National Administration for Disease Prevention and Control, told a news conference that the epidemic scenario in China remains stable, although it appears that new infections are expanding in some areas.
“This month, the national outbreak reached its lowest point since December,” he said. “But since the middle of this month, the number of new positive cases and their proportion in fever clinic visits have increased slightly. “
He said newly inflamed cases are usually made up of other people who have never become inflamed, are immunocompromised and whose immunity levels have declined.
