Quick Glance: Major Chinese cities have passed their Covid peak as the wave shifts to rural areas, new research projects
  • According to a new study, the wave of Covid infections sweeping throughout China may have already peaked in some of the country's largest cities, including Shanghai and Beijing.

  • "The results showed that Guangzhou already passed the recent wave, while Beijing, Shanghai, and Chongqing urban areas are in the midst of the current wave that would likely pass by the end of 2022," according to the report.

  • "It is reasonable to speculate that the Omicron outbreak in Chinese mainland might appear in multiple waves, with re-appearance of new local surges possibly in late 2023," the report said.
