Chinese authorities hid information from the public about medical staff who were diagnosed with COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP virus, amid a second wave outbreak in the northeastern region of Jilin, according to internal government documents obtained by The Epoch Times.

The CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus, first broke out in central China’s Wuhan city in late 2019. Since early April, after a brief period in which most regions of China reported little to no new infections, second wave outbreaks have occurred in several Chinese provinces, including Jilin.
