The COVID-19 outbreak in China continues to escalate. The Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that the epidemic is currently at its first high point of the year.
According to a report by China’s state media, the CDC researcher Liu Qiyong stated, “Since March, the infection of the COVID-19 virus has been gradually increasing and is currently at the first high point of the year, with a downward trend appearing in some provinces.”
“Monitoring results also show regional variations in the epidemic, with overall higher activity levels in southern provinces compared to northern provinces.” Liu Qiyong reminded special populations, especially children, the elderly, and patients with severe chronic underlying diseases, to take daily protective measures.
On June 5th, the topic labeled “CDC Responds to Gradual Increase in COVID-19 Infections, China’s COVID-19 Infections Reach First High Point of the Year” drew attention.
Netizens commented, “I am a part of the high point.” “Although it’s sunny today, we still need to be cautious about COVID-19.” “The patient in the next bed was admitted with a positive COVID-19 test result but didn’t inform the doctors and nurses, causing all of us in the same ward to be infected.” “The symptoms of being positive for COVID-19 twice are having a runny nose.” “Every time I get COVID-19, it feels like I’m going to lose my breath when I speak.” “COVID-19 is messing with my mind. This is the third time being positive, it feels like my memory is deteriorating faster than my grandmother’s dementia.”
“I went to the hospital for intravenous therapy because of a COVID-19 infection, and I fainted in the examination room. The doctor said my condition was too severe and I must have someone accompany me…”
“In recent days, there has been a small peak in COVID-19 infections in many places. Everyone must take extra precautions when going out. I have already been infected, with symptoms of fever, cough, and loss of smell. This virus is despicable! How can it be even more severe than my first infection.”
“COVID-19 has not gone away, and it won’t stop in June. Some people have been fantasizing that COVID-19 has left and they can relax now. But before the words settle, they are slapped in the face as COVID-19 strikes again.”
