In just one city of China, 500,000 people are getting affected by Corona every day.
According to the news agency AFP, a senior official of China's health department made this unusual admission, which was immediately censored.
The government of China is not officially revealing the exact figures of people affected by the new wave of Corona in the country.
China's government quickly rolled back strict measures to curb the spread of the pandemic this month, sparking public outrage.
For a long time, China had imposed snap lockdowns, prolonged quarantines and travel restrictions to prevent the spread of the virus under its zero-covid policy.
Chinese citizens are struggling to get medicine due to rising cases of infection, with pharmacy shelves empty and hospital wards overflowing with patients.
According to AFP, due to the increase in deaths in China, relatives are facing long waits to pay for the last rites of the dead.
Authorities in China have lifted an executive order mandating testing for the virus, and by limiting the definition of death from the virus, experts fear the true number of victims will not be revealed.
A ruling Communist Party newspaper published in Qingdao on Friday reported that the municipal health chief had said that more than 500,000 corona cases were being reported in the city every day.
Municipal health chief Bao Tao said the infection is spreading rapidly in the city. The coastal city of Qingdao has a population of around one million.
This report was also shared by many other newspapers with references, but the data of corona cases were removed after editing on Saturday morning.
