Millions of people are currently confined to their homes in China as the regime races to contain its largest COVID-19 outbreak in months, driven by the spread of the Delta variant. The surge has caused concerns about the efficacy of Chinese vaccines against the highly infectious strain.
Chinese health authorities have blamed the Delta variant for a rise in infections spanning 14 provinces and including Beijing. The recent outbreak of COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP virus, was first reported on July 20 in the eastern city of Nanjing, where nine airport workers were identified by routine tests.
