Chinese epidemic prevention experts said that

Wu Zunyou, chief expert in epidemiology at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, believes that the possibility of a second wave of large-scale epidemics across China is very small.
He posted on his personal Weibo account on January 21 that the Spring Festival is the peak time for the movement of people in China. Although it will increase the spread of the epidemic to a certain extent, especially the increase in the number of infections in some areas, because this wave of epidemic has infected 80% of the people, there is no need to worry about the emergence of a second wave of large-scale epidemics in the short term.
