The latest statistics from China’s National Health Commission indicate that hundreds of people were wrongly listed as cured/discharged in the central Chinese city of Wuhan.
The number of people cured there was reported as 47,300 on Friday, but that figure has quietly dropped today – down to 46,359.
The number of people cured in China at a nationwide level has dropped in line with this. On Friday, 77,944 people were reported as having been cured of Covid-19. But today, that figure has fallen to 77,084.
On Friday, the Wuhan municipal government revised its number of confirmed cases and deaths, to say an extra 1,290 people had died. It said the delays for releasing this information were due to some patients dying at home, being treated in hospitals that didn’t pass their information to the central network, or because of reported errors.
But the National Health Commission’s official figures seem to suggest that as many as 941 cases of Covid-19 in the central city may have been incorrectly reported as cured over the last three months.
