Since a new wave of COVID-19 broke out in China’s Yunnan Province last month, local infection cases continue to be reported. More locally transmitted cases have been confirmed this week, despite the Chinese regime’s claim of “zero local infections.”
The two cases in Yunnan were discovered in the third round of nucleic acid testing in Ruili city on April 11. The citywide testing was completed on April 13.
Chinese authorities have constantly concealed the truth and official data may not represent the true scale of the COVID-19 epidemic in mainland China.
Chinese netizens believe that the recent outbreak in Yunnan has not been contained, and people are panicked. Many netizens reminded each other that everyone should be mindful and take protective measures. Others pointed out that the mass testing will become the norm and that the epidemic is far from over.
Soon after, the Chinese regime announced that there were “zero local infections” in Ruili. However, state-run Xinhua News Agency reported on April 10 that Ruili would carry out a third round of nucleic acid testing for all its residents.
The situation in Ruili shows that the CCP has worked hard to cover up the real epidemic situation in the mainland, but its preventive measures are full of loopholes, he said.
