Summary
About half of the 2000 workers at Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine got Covid-19 during the latest wave. All were treated with traditional Chinese medicine, and only one person developed pneumonia. Pfizer's Paxlovid drug for treating Covid remains in short supply domestically, and the company has signed an agreement with a local partner to manufacture the drug in China. China is still heavily underreporting Covid-19 deaths, but the most difficult phase of the outbreak has passed in rural areas.
