While there have been reports of hospitals in Shanghai being overwhelmed by cases, deaths from COVID-19 still remain very low.
Since the outbreak of cases in March this year, at least 190 people have died with COVID-19 in the city of 25 million people.As a proportion of its population, this figure is well below the current COVID death rate in the UK and US.
Unlike the UK where the elderly and vulnerable have been prioritised for vaccinations, China's vaccine uptake has been higher among young people instead. Experts also point toward the effectiveness of China's homegrown vaccines, which are much less effective than foreign-produced jabs Transitioning to a policy of looser restrictions where cases and deaths will inevitably rise will always be"challenging" for any government, says Martin Hibberd, professor of emerging infectious diseases at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.
