昨天，數十個城市發布了高溫警報，中國東部和南部部分地區在極端溫度下枯萎。 一些溫度預測超過 40 攝氏度（104 華氏度）。

熱浪融化了數十個城市的建築物屋頂和道路，人們在地下防空洞尋求涼爽的空氣。

中國消滅 Covid-19 疫情的努力仍未減弱。 儘管酷熱難耐，身穿防護服的衛生工作者仍堅持進行一輪強制性冠狀病毒檢測。 一段視頻顯示，河南的一名衛生工作者中暑，他的同事用測試包的包裝搧著他。

接下來是什麼：預計熱浪將持續至少兩週。

數據：1990 年至 2019 年間，中國與過熱相關的死亡率上升了 400%，2019 年達到 26,800 人。

Parts of China’s east and south withered under extreme temperatures as dozens of cities issued heat alerts yesterday. Some temperature forecasts exceeded 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit).

The heat waves melted the roofs of buildings and buckled roads in dozens of cities, as people to sought cool air in air-raid shelters underground.

China’s quest to stamp out Covid-19 outbreaks remained undiminished. Health workers in hazmat suits persisted in administering a round of mandatory coronavirus tests, despite the bracing heat. One video showed a health worker in Henan succumbing to heat stroke as his colleagues fanned him with packaging from test kits.

What’s next: The heat wave is forecast to persist for at least two weeks.

Data: Mortality related to excess heat rose in China by 400 percent between 1990 and 2019, reaching 26,800 deaths in 2019.
