IT’S coming up to a year since the last death from Covid in China. Since January 26 2021, China’s Covid death count has been stuck on 4,636.
The vast majority — 99.9 per cent — of these deaths took place during the first three months of the pandemic and the most were in Hubei, the province in which the outbreak was first detected.
In the southern province of Guangdong, population 125 million, there have been just eight deaths from Covid.
