CORONAVIRUS | The number will rise again if normal life is allowed to resume too quickly, researches of a study warn.
Until a vaccine has been developed for Covid-19, countries who intend to lift their lockdowns should monitor their population closely for new infections and adjust their controls, according to a study based on the experience in China.
However, the researchers of the study warned, the number will rise again if normal life is allowed to resume too quickly or too many controls are lifted all at once. If governments insist on doing so, they will have to be prepared to monitor the situation closely, they added. “Even in the most prosperous and well-resourced megacities like Beijing and Shanghai, healthcare resources are finite, and services will struggle with a sudden increase in demand.
