BEIJING - Evidence of a wave of Covid-19 deaths is beginning to emerge in Beijing despite official tallies showing no fatalities since an uncontrolled outbreak began sweeping through China’s capital this week.
Staff at one crematorium in Beijing said they cremated the bodies of at least 30 Covid-19 victims on Wednesday, and Financial Times reporters saw two body bags at a special hospital designated for coronavirus patients.
