GENEVA — The head of the World Health Organization said he was "very concerned" Wednesday about an unprecedented wave of COVID-19 cases in China, urging Beijing to provide detailed information about the severity of the situation. "WHO is very concerned over the evolving situation in China," Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told a weekly news conference, appealing for detailed information on disease severity, hospital admissions and intensive care requirements.

Beijing last week admitted the scale of the outbreak has become "impossible" to track following the end of mandatory mass testing. A leading Chinese health expert warned Tuesday that the capital will face a surge in cases over the next two weeks, which will continue until the end of January.
