A recent COVID-19 outbreak in China, first reported in an eastern Chinese city, has spread to Beijing and at least seven provinces. The Chinese regime’s strict response has placed hundreds of thousands of people in lockdown.

A cluster of infections in the city of Nanjing, linked to airport workers earlier this month, has reached the nation’s capital city, along with 21 other cities, as of July 30. The Delta variant has been identified in the recent CCP virus outbreak.
