About 92.3% of Beijing residents will become infected with coronavirus until the end of January. At the same time, three quarters of the population of the Chinese capital were already ill by December 22. This was reported by the results of a study published by Nature Medicine.
The study was carried out by creating a dynamic model of transmission of coronavirus infection. Also analyzed the results of online surveys among infected.
Experts note that after the Chinese authorities “20 measures” for the transition from the policy of “zero tolerance” to the COVID-19, the reproduction of the virus increased to 3.44. This suggests that each infected can infect 3.44 people.
