A resurgence of the deadly CCP virus is occurring across the globe, spanning European and African nations to countries such as Canada, China, and Japan, while the United States reported a record-breaking daily death toll on Jan. 12 of 4,300.

A litany of measures such as lockdowns, curfews, and school closures have been put in place in an attempt to stem the spread of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, while some countries are starting to roll out vaccines. Meanwhile, an increasing number of countries are reporting new variants of the virus, which could affect how it’s transmitted.

Chinese authorities throughout Northern China have struggled to contain the CCP virus—which originated in Wuhan, China, in December 2019—despite enacting stringent lockdown measures. Hebei Province is the hardest-hit, with two cities, Shijiazhuang and Xingtai, seeing the biggest surges in new infections.
