BEIJING: Desperate families searching for critical COVID-19 medication in China, faced with bare pharmacy shelves and an explosion of cases, are being driven into murky online marketplaces rife with price gouging and fraud. Beijing last month
The current COVID-19 wave has seen drug stores, as people snap up cold and fever treatments. Many have been forced to turn to sketchy online sellers with little guarantee of getting what they have paid for.
After being directed to a sleek"official" website, Qiu then forked out 12,000 yuan for six boxes of Paxlovid, according to payment records seen by AFP. Authorities in China have said they have begun shipping Paxlovid to some hospitals and community clinics, but the drug remains extremely difficult for many to obtain.
Despite those risks, the black market remains a common last resort for people like Xiao, whose elderly grandfather fell ill in December.
