The Chinese regime shut down one of the largest hospitals in the city of Chengdu in southwest Sichuan Province on Tuesday, and ordered residents of several districts to line up for COVID-19 testing overnight.

During the next day, it was announced there were new COVID-19 patients in the city, with officials suspecting they were infected with the Delta variant of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as novel coronavirus.
