In the month since the country abandoned its tight "zero Covid" policy, China said on Saturday that it had reported about 60,000 fatalities connected to the coronavirus, accelerating an outbreak that is thought to have infected millions of people. The admission marked a significant increase in the official death toll and was the first time China had offered a measure of the Covid wave that is currently sweeping the nation.
