July 1 marks the centennial of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Guangzhou, which has been closed for a long time due to a CCP virus outbreak, has suddenly lifted traffic controls in some areas and on the city borders. However, the city will again conduct nucleic acid testing, and the outskirts of Guangzhou are also preparing to build a large international quarantine center with 5,000 individual spaces.

On May 29, some areas of Liwan District in Guangzhou were closed down and people could not go out. On June 24, the Guangzhou Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters issued a notice that Liwan District, except for Heyuan Residential Community, could resume both inbound and outbound traffic.
