A growing number of patients in China who previously recovered from the CCP virus are relapsing, according to internal government documents obtained by The Epoch Times.
The figures on relapse rates in the internal reports are much higher than the 5 to 15 percent that Wang Guiqiang, director of the infectious diseases department at Peking University First Affiliated Hospital, cited during a central government-hosted press conference on May 7.
