China’s northern city of Qingdao tested nearly 11 million local citizens after a local outbreak of the CCP virus and claimed that there were no positive cases. But the authorities’ claim failed to assuage concerns about the true scale of the health crisis.
The latest outbreak in Qingdao was confirmed by authorities on Oct. 11 when the municipal health commission reported eight asymptomatic cases and four confirmed cases of COVID-19, a disease caused by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus. In China, asymptomatic cases are counted in a separate category.
