The COVID-19 outbreak has quickly worsened in China’s southern Guangdong Province, where two cities have been put in semi-lockdown because of virus variants.

On June 1, the provincial capital Guangzhou city announced that 38 areas of the city of 15.3 million people were under total lockdown, while suspending individual vaccinations city wide. Two neighborhoods have been upgraded to high-risk areas, while two more areas were identified as medium-risk areas.
