The National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has observed that regions with rapid spread of Corona 19 will pass the peak of this wave within a week, and several regions across the country will peak at the end of this month.



Chinese quarantine authorities have stopped publishing statistics on asymptomatic Corona 19 infections since the 14th, and recently announced that the number of new symptomatic infections per day is between 2,000 and 3,000.
