Ginebra. La Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) criticó este miércoles la nueva definición de China sobre los decesos por covid, calificándola de “muy reducida”, y afirmó que las estadísticas oficiales no se ajustan al verdadero impacto de la epidemia en el país.

"Creemos que las cifras actuales publicadas por China subrepresentan el impacto real de la enfermedad en términos de ingreso en los hospitales, admisiones en cuidados intensivos y sobre todo en términos de decesos", declaró en rueda de prensa Michael Ryan, responsable en la organización de la gestión de situaciones de emergencia sanitaria.

China afronta en la actualidad su peor brote de contagios tras el levantamiento, a principios de diciembre, de su política "cero covid".
