China's hospitals, funeral homes slammed as COVID-19 spreads unchecked

Chinese hospitals and funeral homes were under intense pressure on Wednesday, as a surging COVID-19 wave drained resources.

The scale of the outbreak and doubts over official data prompted some countries to consider new travel rules on Chinese visitors.

There were long queues inside and outside the hospital’s emergency department and at an adjacent fever clinic on Tuesday evening. Most of those arriving in ambulances were given oxygen to help with their breathing.

Car parks around the Dongjiao funeral home, one of the biggest in Chengdu, were full on Wednesday. Funeral processions were constant as smoke billowed from the crematorium.

The lifting of restrictions, which came after widespread protests against them, means COVID-19 is spreading largely unchecked and likely infecting millions of people a day, according to some international health experts.
