Guangdong province is reopening after fully containing the latest COVID-19 outbreaks without losing one single life. Global Times reports today that the virus has been brought under control, with no cases being reported over the last ten days as of July 2.
Since May 21, there have been three separate outbreaks in provincial capital Guangzhou, and in nearby Shenzhen and Dongguan. All were caused by imported virus variants, including the delta strain. After isolating the three areas and conducting extensive testing and treatment, followed by a further 60 million nucleic acid tests on high-risk groups in mid-June, no positive results were found, according to the Guangdong provincial government.
