A large number of Chinese citizens have posted on social media platforms in recent days disclosing their reinfection with COVID-19. However, the Chinese regime’s mouthpiece media outlet quickly published an article to deny that China is experiencing another wave of COVID-19.

Many people across the country claimed that they had been reinfected with COVID-19 and posted their positive antigens test results on social media. On April 20, “positive again” became the most searched term online in China.
