A growing number of COVID infections continue to hit China, and megacities like Beijing and Shanghai are facing a scarcity of medicines and emergency equipment.

Wu Fang (a pseudonym) from Shanghai’s Pudong New Area told The Epoch Times on Jan. 4 that COVID-19 is rampant in the community and that “there are a lot of people with high fevers of 39 Celsius (102.2 Fahrenheit) in this wave of the epidemic. My son and my relatives are all infected.”
