As COVID-19 outbreaks continue to worsen in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou, there are signs that the local situation is much worse than Chinese authorities have admitted.

Chen Xi (a pseudonym), a resident in Guangzhou’s Panyu district, says panic has set in among residents in his neighborhood of Guangzhou, a port city in southern China’s Guangdong Province. He said that’s a major change from just days ago when the local outbreak wasn’t thought to be much of a concern, he told the Chinese-language Epoch Times in an interview on June 5.
