Chinese police carried out a special operation, during which a large batch of fake coronavirus vaccine was seized. This is reported by RIA Novosti with reference to local media.
In total, more than three thousand doses of counterfeit were found. It was also possible to open and liquidate sales chains, as well as a workshop where saline was pumped into ampoules under the guise of a drug.
More than 80 people were detained. Attackers sold their “vaccine” to victims at inflated prices. At the same time, official vaccination is free for citizens and is carried out only in licensed centers.
The vaccination campaign in China is carried out by Sinovac.
Earlier it was reported that in China they began to use a new method for testing for coronavirus – anal swabs. This unusual method has come to be used along with nasal and oropharyngeal swabs and antibody tests. During the procedure, a cotton swab soaked in saline is inserted into the anus about two to three centimeters. According to Bloomberg, more than a thousand schoolchildren and teachers in Beijing have already been subjected to this procedure after an asymptomatic patient was found in one of the schools. An anal swab also has to be taken upon arrival in the capital.
