Official reports are indicating that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) virus, commonly known as novel coronavirus, is spreading in Guangzhou after an initial case of local transmission was reported last week in the city of 15.3 million people. Meanwhile, infections have also appeared in the nearby megacity of Shenzhen in China’s southern coastal province of Guangdong.

The reports have triggered mass testings in the government district of Guangzhou, as more neighborhoods are assigned to be medium-risk areas, and residents rush to get vaccinated, causing a temporary vaccine shortage across the city. Officials have claimed that the source of this round of outbreak in the province is still unknown, while some netizens suspect that communist party officials are covering up the truth.
