Western media began reporting a wave of undiagnosed pneumonia among children in northern China, including Beijing.
Republican senators led by Mark Rubio have called on President Joe Biden to ban air travel with China after a sharp increase in the number of respiratory disease cases in China. Reuters reported this on Saturday, December 2.
Policymakers have indicated that due to the rapid spread of the disease in China, travel between the United States and China should be immediately restricted.
At the same time, a Biden administration official said that the United States is closely monitoring the rise in respiratory diseases in China, but added that seasonal trends are observed.
“There is nothing unusual going on… There is no indication yet of a link between people seeking care in US emergency departments and the outbreak of respiratory diseases in China,” the White House added.
Liu Penyu, spokesman for the Chinese Embassy in Washington, said that the allegation of an outbreak of an unknown disease in China is a malicious fabrication.
The WHO suggests the increase is due to an increase in the number of children infected with pathogens they have avoided during the two years of COVID-19 restrictions.
There is an outbreak of pneumonia among children in China. The average number of patients in the internal medicine department of Beijing Children’s Hospital is several days seven thousand per day.
The probability of a measles outbreak in Ukraine is high
