Coronavirus: Something is up in China
  • The authorities of the Chinese city of Heihe in the northeastern province of Heilongjiang have decided to suspend the work of urban public transport due to the worsening epidemiological situation. The ban applies to both buses and taxis. The resumption of work will be announced later.

    Heilongjiang's Health Committee previously reported that four new cases of acute coronavirus were detected in Heihe, all of which were previously listed as asymptomatic.

    The ports of Dalian and Qingdao are also closed. This is part of strange propaganda that COVID comes to China via frozen fish.
