The Chinese city of Wuhan, where the coronavirus was first detected late last year, has tested nearly 10 million people in an unprecedented 19-day campaign to check an entire city.

It identified just 300 positive cases, all of whom had no symptoms. The city found no infections among 1,174 close contacts of the people who tested positive, suggesting they were not spreading it easily to others.

There is no definitive answer yet on the level of risk posed by asymptomatic cases, with anecdotal evidence and studies to date producing conflicting answers. A city official announced Tuesday that the city completed 9.9 million tests from May 14 to June 1. If those tested previously are included, virtually everyone above the age of 5 in the city of 11 million people has been tested, said Li Lanjuan, a member of a National Health Commission expert team.The campaign was launched after a small cluster of cases was found in a residential compound, sparking concern about a possible second wave of infections as Wuhan emerged from a 2 1/2 month lockdown.

And China lies all the time. In fact. They haven't told the truth since they knew about the virus last October.

Bullshit

🤣of course and thy don’t kill thousands of people every month who question the regime? Shut up CTV your are filth just like your imperial leader JustinTrudeau

is the WHO currently allowed to go and monitor the situation in China? Are their numbers thrustworthy? coronavirus

You mean Wuhan finally reported new infections rather than hide it.

That's what they reported?

So one of the cities that went into total lock down .:is now essentially virus free ?.... it is news releases such as this that should leave many to wonder

Ya sure sure

Meanwhile in other news...the Easter Bunny,tooth fairy and Santa Claus are REAL !!

Yup, right, another believeabke news source 🙄

if you believe this you probably believe Trudeau will get those checks out to seniors this week

10 million tested in 19 days. So they can test 526,000 per day, but we can't even test that many in 3 months. Ok.

So does CTV stand for 'Chinese Television Network' now?

Just stop with this it’s never going away and frankly ppl are done with this. We have been shut down longer than them too because of fear mongering. Enough!

China's been doing it right. What a shame Trump hasn't been paying attention.

Fake news.

China doesn't count people who are positive but asymptomatic. WTF?

ya right!!!!!!!

no shit
