COVID-19 infections not problematic, experts say

The number of people in China being infected with COVID-19 is fluctuating reasonably and won't be a burden on medical resources or the public, experts said.

The latest figures from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention show that fever departments nationwide saw the number of new infections fall from 125,000 on July 1 to 92,000 on July 31. Infections peaked at around 210,000 from February to March.

The number of COVID-19 patients in critical condition last month was 203, the center said, compared with 358 in February and 588 in March.
