Chinese workers at a shipping company in the Yantian District of Shenzhen city recently tested positive for the CCP virus despite being vaccinated earlier this year. The reinfections have caused concern, and local authorities have begun COVID-19 testing for over 7,000 residents each day, starting last week.

The CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus, causes the COVID-19 disease.
