An employee at Shanghai’s subway network told The Epoch Times that he had seen several people suddenly collapse and exhibit COVID-19 symptoms in recent weeks, long before authorities announced any new local cases. Local authorities in Shanghai reported a new outbreak of COVID-19 on Jan. 21, although the city declared “no more suspected cases” on Jan. 2.

COVID-19 is caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus.

Numerous Sudden Collapses

The Shanghai Metro employee told The Epoch Times that these cases mostly occurred in mid-January. The employee wished to remain anonymous due to security concerns.
