BEIJING, January 30. /TASS/. The recent massive outbreak of COVID-19 in China is almost over, the Chinese Center for Disease Control said in a weekly report on Monday.

"The current wave of COVID-19 infections is drawing to an end," the report said.

According to the agency, the intensity of the epidemic generally declined to a low level by the end of January and the workload of medical institutions has eased.

Doctors haven’t recorded a surge of infections or any new strains of the virus during the Spring Festival Golden Week holiday from January 21-27.

The trend toward fewer cases has been observed across all regions of China. The number of cases of severe disease, hospitalizations and fatalities continues to decline, the report said.

China registered a coronavirus outbreak in November, with most infected people exhibiting no symptoms. China canceled the centralized mandatory quarantine and mass coronavirus testing at the start of December. Growth of infections across the country was explosive afterward, peaking at the end of December.
