REUTERSPIX: China's health authorities on Saturday reported almost 60,000 Covid-related deaths in just over a month, the first major death toll released by the government since the loosening of its virus restrictions in early December.
The figure refers only to deaths recorded at medical facilities, with the total toll likely to be higher. China has been accused of underreporting its number of virus deaths since abandoning its zero-Covid policy in early December.Beijing had previously revised its methodology for categorising Covid fatalities, saying it would count only those who die specifically of respiratory failure caused by the virus.
