Hospitals in Suifenhe, a Chinese port city bordering Russia, are overcrowded with covid patients and many hospitals have stopped admitting emergency cases.


At 9.30 pm in the evening of 13 April 2020, Wang Yongping, acting mayor of Suifenhe, said in an interview with CCTV News that as of then, there were 243 confirmed cases, 102 asymptomatic infections, and 8 suspected cases. He also said that at present, 1479 people are being isolated for observation.


To this end, The Epoch Times reporter interviewed a number of hospitals to confirm. Suifenhe is a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Mudanjiang City in Heilongjiang Province, with a population of only about 70,000.

Some local people broke the news to the Epoch Times. Suifenhe City had a huge number of people infected with SARS-CoV-2. Serious patients were transferred to the Mudanjiang Railway Hospital, Hongqi Hospital and Jiangnan Branch of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. They have been full since the previous days, and some hospitals have stopped. Receive an emergency. Mudanjiang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital Jiangnan Branch has completely stopped receiving consultations.




An expert doctor at the Jiangnan Branch of the Mudanjiang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital confirmed in an interview that the Jiangnan Branch has been requisitioned and used as a rehabilitation hospital. Similar to the square cabin hospital, the patient is isolated and recovered in the Jiangnan Branch for another 14 days before returning home.

She disclosed that there are many patients in Mudanjiang. Hongqi Hospital, Jiangnan Branch and Railway Hospital emergency departments can no longer admit patients. They are all requisitioned, but patients can approach the emergency department of the General Ward of Chinese Medicine Hospital. This is the case now. Patients are afraid of doctors, doctors are afraid of patients, and they are afraid of being infected with each other. So patients are advised to wear masks when they came to consult doctors. They must scan the patients' health codes.

The staff of Hongqi Hospital of Mudanjiang Medical College also said that they are not receiving consultations and are undergoing reconstruction to admit covid patients from Suifenhe.


The operator of the 120 Mudanjiang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital introduced that patients can use common diseases and receive emergency services, but they cannot make appointments by phone. When to use the ambulances after phone calls, the charge is 90 RMB.

A staff member of Mudanjiang First People's Hospital who answered the phone revealed that ordinary patients can see a doctor, but they must make an appointment online and register before they can come to see; the hospital staff can directly come to register before, but the new regulations that have just been implemented now require direct. It is not possible to see a doctor in the past, patients must make an appointment in advance and hold  vouchers to see a doctor. No on-site registration is accepted. Patients must register online, enter the hospital with the registration certificate, Longjiang health code, and masks or else they will be denied entry to the hospital.

Suifenhe carried out closed management of all the communities on 6 February 2020. Subsequently, the China Communist Party(CCP) authorities declared that the domestic epidemic situation was basically "controlled", and the the port of entry at Suifenhe  was opened again. However, with the resurgence of covid cases, the Chinese Communist authorities upgraded the Suifenhe epidemic prevention measures .

On 21 March 2020, the CCP authorities carried out 100% nucleic acid detection and 100% centralized isolation and observation for people who entered Suifenhe for 14 days and implement closed management.

The Chinese authorities claimed that the Suifenhe epidemic spread rapidly because of cases from Russia.

However, Mr. Yu, a Harbin citizen, told The Epoch Times reporter on 9 April 2020 that even if it is a case of local infection, the CCP official will say that it is imported from abroad, otherwise it is equivalent to admitting that the epidemic has not been controlled, and overseas imports are just excuses.

Mr Yu said, "The whole Heilongjiang is not optimistic. It is still very serious. Mudanjiang and Suifenhe have also imposed community martial law. It is said that several cases have occurred in Qiqihar. Qiqihar has been concealing covid reports. Most of the outbreaks now happen. They are not reported, so it is unclear whether the epidemic is really under control, and no one knows. But from the overall epidemic situation, I feel that it is not under control. "
