Funnily enough, the Capitalist economy needs them to. Look at how the supply chain is shitting itself with these limited lockdowns. Imagine if they had the death toll and "labor shortages" the US is experiencing.

Got bored and punched some numbers. If China had the same amount of its population dead from covid as the US, there would be about 4.1 million dead Chinese people as opposed to about the 8,600 that have actually died
No idea what 4.1 million dead people would do to the Chinese economy though because I don't know anything about the economy of China
You're forgetting long covid. One of the biggest things effecting productive capacity in the west right now is the millions and millions of people that have recovered, but are still weakened and sick compared to how they were before.

And the sheer density of Chinese cities means that transmission is much more likely. Its actually incredible how well its been controlled so far.
