As of January 5, 2025, there is no official declaration from the World Health Organization (WHO) regarding a new COVID-19 outbreak in China.
Recent reports indicate that China is experiencing a surge in various respiratory illnesses, including Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV), Influenza A, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and COVID-19, which have led to overwhelmed hospitals and crematoriums.
The WHO has urged China to share data on the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, emphasizing the importance of transparency.
It’s important to note that while there is an increase in respiratory illnesses in China, the WHO has not declared a new COVID-19 outbreak in the country. The situation is evolving, and health authorities are closely monitoring developments.
