Chinese singer Jane Zhang faces massive backlash on social media after revealing that she deliberately infected herself with the coronavirus.
Her shocking disclosure comes when China faces a huge coronavirus cases surge, propelled by the BF.7 Omicron variant. The singer disclosed on social media that she purposely infected herself with the coronavirus by seeing friends who had tested positive.
Taking to Weibo, she said that she had visited the homes of ‘sheep’ – a term for virus carriers in mainland China, according to a South China Morning Post.
The reason?
The singer wanted to contract the virus in preparation for an upcoming New Year’s Eve concert. Ms. Zhang explained that she wanted to catch the virus so that she would not be at risk of infection during the concert, which is held at the end of December.
“I was concerned that my condition during the New Year’s Eve performance would be affected, so I met a group of people who have tested positive since I currently have time to recover from the virus,” she wrote.

The 38-year-old singer added that she went to sleep after she began to have symptoms such as fever, sore throat, and body aches.
Zhang explained that her symptoms were similar to that of a Covid patient but only lasted one day. “After sleeping for a day and a night, all my symptoms disappeared … I just drank plenty of water and took vitamin C, without taking any medicine before I got well,” she added.
