China reported nearly 13,000 Covid-related deaths in hospitals between Jan 13 and 19. China a week earlier said nearly 60,000 people had died with Covid in hospitals as of Jan 12, but there has been widespread scepticism over official data since Beijing abruptly axed anti-virus controls last month. China’s CDC said on Saturday that 681 hospitalised patients had died of respiratory failure caused by coronavirus infection, and 11,977 had died of other diseases combined with infection over the period.
