Restoring normal population mobility to “COVID-zero regions’” like China will cause some 2 million deaths in a year and the key to controlling the virus is developing vaccines that are better at preventing infection, Chinese researchers said.

Health personnel wear full protective clothing during COVID-19 testing measures for journalists.

The researchers used studies from Chile and Britain to calculate the “baseline efficacy” of current vaccines -CoronaVac in the case of Chile and the Pfizer and Oxford/AstraZeneca shots in Britain. But even with a global vaccination rate of 95%, if population mobility was restored to 2019 levels, the researchers estimated that all COVID-zero regions would see more than 234 million infections within a year, including 64 million symptomatic cases and 2 million deaths.

They said it was more important for new vaccines to be effective against infection than against symptomatic disease or death.
