Covid in China: Half of Shanghai's population will be infected by the end

A Shanghai hospital has told its staff to prepare for a "tragic battle" with COVID-19 as it expects half of the city's 25 million people to be infected by the end of the year.

"This year's Christmas, New Year's Day and Lunar New Year are destined to be uncertain," the hospital said.

In recent days, China's hospitals have been overwhelmed as the latest surge in cases has hit China.

The government lifted most of the Covid measures two weeks ago after huge protests against the strict controls. The number of cases has increased significantly since then.
