The number of new corona infections reported daily in China has again fallen slightly. As the Health Commission reported in Beijing on Wednesday, about 37,600 new cases were reported the day before. On Monday there were about 38,400 infections. With more than 40,000 new infections, a high for China since the start of the pandemic was reported almost three years ago.
The rigorous measures taken by the authorities in response to the new corona wave led to protests in several million metropolitan areas this weekend. It was China’s largest public demonstration of discontent in decades.
Security forces broke up the protests and arrested several protesters. In response to the demonstrations, a massive police presence was mobilized in the streets of Beijing, Shanghai and other cities to prevent the demonstrations from flaring up again. (sda/dpa)
