An outbreak of the CCP virus in Heilongjiang Province is quickly spreading, despite authorities’ attempts to contain it.

The virus’s resurgence, occurring throughout parts of northern China, has resulted in millions being locked down at home, while tens of thousands of suspected patients were moved to quarantine centers.

Latest Outbreak

Heilongjiang authorities said the latest outbreak, traced to a pregnant woman and her 10-year-old son, has already infected hundreds within the past three days. After the woman tested positive for COVID-19 at a hospital in Wangkui county, Suihua city, authorities said she caused outbreaks in Harbin, Mudanjiang, Qiqihar, and Yichun cities.
