New York City will release around 300 non-violent inmates from Rikers Island in an effort to stem the CCP virus from spreading, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Tuesday.

The Epoch Times refers to the novel coronavirus, which causes the disease COVID-19, as the CCP virus because the Chinese Communist Party’s coverup and mismanagement allowed the virus to spread throughout China and create a global pandemic.
