209 senior students at a high school in the southwestern province of Guizhou have developed fever and diarrhea—typical symptoms of the CCP virus—since March 24. Government authorities later said that they fell ill after drinking contaminated water, but locals became worried that they may be infected with the virus.

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.
