Controversial decision by China: they stopped sharing daily data on Covid-19

In China, which has implemented very strict restrictions and lockdowns by implementing the “Zero Covid-19” program, these applications have been shelved in recent weeks, with public reaction and economic pause.

However, with the removal of the measures and restrictions, the number of cases and deaths in the country began to rise rapidly, and the Chinese administration took a controversial step. China’s National Health Commission has shelved the release of daily Covid-19 data.

“From now on, the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention will publish relevant information on COVID-19 for reference and research purposes,” the statement said. The authorities did not provide an explanation as to why they stopped sharing this data.
