Unknown pneumonia spreads through Kazakhstan
Kazakhstan is facing a deadly "unknown pneumonia” more dangerous than coronavirus, China has claimed.
The alert comes as the Kazakh authorities have admitted both a “second wave” spike in Covid-19 but also a sharp rise in pneumonia cases, mirror.co.uk reports.
The Kazakh Health Ministry insisted the Chinese claim was "not true" despite an apparent surge in cases not confirmed as coronavirus.
And the ex-Soviet state has gone into lockdown with the president issuing a “don’t panic” message while also demanding strict adherence to the rules.
Some 28,000 pneumonia patients with negative coronavirus tests are hospitalised in Kazakhstan, says deputy health minister Azhar Giniyat.
China, which borders the country, has expressed deep concern over the “unknown pneumonia” and issued a warning from its embassy in capital Nursultan alleging: "The death rate of this disease is much higher than the novel coronavirus.”
