At 11 am on 16 October, Qingdao held a press conference at which the source of the Qingdao epidemic was notified and the two workers in Dagang were identified. For those infected in Qingdao Port, there was no community transmission due to the clustered epidemic caused by patients sharing the CT room with one another in general wards.
The Office of the Leading Group (Command) of the Shandong Provincial Party Committee for Coordinating Epidemic Prevention and Control and Economic Operation Work issued a notice on October 15 that after the outbreak of Qingdao, the whole province will carry out nucleic acid testing for all employees in Qinghai and Liqing, except for the previous announcement. Except for those infected, the current results are all negative. Key populations such as close contacts and epidemic-related areas are all effectively controlled. Experts have judged that the risk of community transmission is small.
In order to promote the orderly flow of personnel and coordinate the prevention and control of the epidemic and economic operations, the urgent notice is as follows:
1. Persons in Qingdao's low-risk area who leave Qingdao can be given priority to arrange for testing. They will leave the city with a negative nucleic acid test report or health code nucleic acid test negative information within 7 days, and normal work and life after arrival, no unit or individual may set other restrictive measures.
2. Those who have left Qingdao in the early stage (except for the key populations that the CDC assists in the investigation and follow-up) will undergo a nucleic acid test from their current location, and other additional health management measures will not be implemented if the test is negative.
3. Continue to implement isolation medical observation and health management measures in strict accordance with the requirements for key populations assisted by the disease control agency to investigate and track, and report the test results to the Qingdao CDC in a timely manner.
4. Except for the measures clearly stipulated by the Provincial Party Committee Leading Group (Command Headquarters), all localities are not allowed to "add layer by layer", and are not allowed to add traffic control checkpoints and restrictive measures to communities and buildings without authorization.
5. Strengthen personal protection and health monitoring, continue to maintain hygienic habits and lifestyles such as "one-metre distance", frequent hand washing, scientific wearing of masks, regular ventilation, and metric chopsticks, and seek medical treatment promptly if suspicious symptoms are found to reduce the risk of epidemic transmission.
6. Any unreasonable restrictions in addition to the normalized prevention and control measures will be corrected immediately. Those who cause bad effects must be resolutely investigated and accountable in accordance with the law and notified.

The CCP virus has recently made a comeback in many parts of the mainland. Following Qingdao, Shandong, a hotel staff member at Furongzhang Resort in Huadu District, Guangzhou was also diagnosed with infection on Thursday (15 October). The resort was subsequently blocked. On the same day, the radiology department of the New Specialty Hospital in Neijiang City, Sichuan was closed and cleared, suspecting a case of CCP virus infection.
On 15 October, a staff member of the Xinyuan Hotel in Huadu District, Guangzhou City was found to be infected with the CCP virus during regular inspections. Since the hotel is located in Furongzhang Resort, Huadu District, Guangzhou’s Huadu District Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters issued an announcement the next day (16th), requiring the resort area and surrounding villages such as Shiling Town and Huashan Town to be Perform nucleic acid testing and screening.
Online video shows that local people have been waiting in long lines for testing.
A restaurant owner of the resort told The Epoch Times that everyone in the resort was doing nucleic acid tests, and the entire resort was also closed. He was notified that he would not be allowed to go out and he had to register when he went out.
The boss is worried that once the resort is closed, the business will definitely be affected when it will reopen. He also said that Xinyuan Hotel itself accepts people returning from foreign countries for quarantine, and the hotel security was infected this time.
According to the "Healthy Huadu" WeChat official account of the Huadu District Health Bureau, on 15 October, Huadu District conducted regular inspections of the staff of the quarantined hotel and found that one staff member was infected with the CCP virus, and it was an asymptomatic infection.
The staff member Wang XX (male, 40 years old) is a worker at Xinyuan Hotel, an isolated hotel in Huadu District. He usually lives in the staff dormitory of the hotel. The result of the routine nucleic acid test on 5 October was negative. When tested again on 15 October, the result was positive but there is no discomfort such as fever or cough.
Currently, Xinyuan Hotel has been completely closed.
It is worth mentioned that the resort hotel lockdown happened at the time when Xi Jinping was reported to be coughing severely in the Shenzhen 40th Anniversary conference. He shortened his trip in Guangdong. He did not tour Guangzhou and Zhuhai. He flew back to Beijing from Shenzhen the day after his exposed cough.
In addition, on 15 October, a netizen posted a video to disclose that a suspected case of CCP virus infection was also found in Neijiang City, Sichuan Province.
The video shows that a security guard in the radiology building of the New Special Hospital of Neijiang City said that the radiology department of the hospital has now been cleared and no outsiders are allowed to enter, allegedly because a suspected case of infection has been found.
However, at present, the Chinese Communist Party media have not yet reported on this.

Reporter : Gu Qing'er / https://www.epochtimes.com/gb/20/10/15/n12477779.htm / Translation, editing : Gan Yung Chyan, KUCINTA SETIA
The SARS-CoV-2 epidemic is still continuing, and Jiangsu Normal University has been exploded to conceal the mass tuberculosis incident. Recently, an internal CCP document obtained by Epoch Times shows that Luoyang authorities also concealed the 2016 mass tuberculosis incident at Luoyang Institute of Technology.
Exclusive: internal notification of the mass tuberculosis incident in Luoyang Institute of Technology
The "Response to the "Individual Netizens Distributing Tuberculosis Infection in Luoyang Institute of Technology", obtained by The Epoch Times, on December 27, 2016, showed that the authorities had concealed the mass tuberculosis incident in Luoyang Institute of Technology. This document is marked: "Epidemic information, please keep it confidential."
(Epoch Times)
According to internal reports, Luoyang Institute of Technology has successively reported confirmed tuberculosis patients since March 2016. As of the publication of this document, a total of 26 cases have been diagnosed, 19 cases (2 cases in Tuyang) on the Wangcheng campus of the college, 3 cases on the Kaiyuan campus (1 case in Tuyang), and 4 cases on the Jiudu campus.
The report mentioned that the fear of the epidemic has expanded. Starting in March 2016, the city’s CDC has screened all teachers, students and staff on the Kaiyuan campus of the school in three batches. In the first stage, from March 9 to June 29, 2016, a total of 6 cases of tuberculosis (1 case of smear positive) were reported from the school, 5 cases were distributed on the Wangcheng campus and 1 case on the Kaiyuan campus.
In the second phase, from September 1 to November 30, 2016, a total of 20 confirmed patients (2 cases of smear positive) were reported from the college, 14 cases were distributed on the Wangcheng campus, 2 cases on the Kaiyuan campus, and 4 cases on the Jiudu campus.
(Epoch Times)
In the third stage, from December 1 to December 26, 2016, 2,700 people on the Jiudu campus of the college and more than 12,000 teachers and students on the Kaiyuan campus were screened for tuberculosis. According to the document, "the diagnosis and statistics work is ongoing."
Since the statistics of the third phase of the school have not been released, it is impossible to know the actual number of confirmed diagnoses.
According to the document, more than 20,000 people were screened before and after the school. The confirmed tuberculosis patients shall be treated with a one-year or two-month break as required.
Because the school conducts such a large-scale screening, students panic. It wasn't until December 26, 2016 that the matter was reported online by netizens.
According to an internal report, the Luoyang City Health and Family Planning Commission received the information published by the authorities (2016) in the “Information Concerning Stability” on December 26 that “individual netizens spread the information about the occurrence of tuberculosis infection in Luoyang Institute of Technology that caused panic among students”. The Municipal Internet Information Office and the Municipal Stability Maintenance Office made the above response.
With regard to the information reported by netizens, the Luoyang City Health and Family Planning Commission called it "inaccurate."

Jiangsu Normal University hides group tuberculosis outbreak for one year
A few days ago, Jiangsu Normal University also broke out a mass tuberculosis incident. From the time of the official notification, the school has concealed the tuberculosis epidemic for more than a year.
In the evening of 14 October 2020, Jiangsu Normal University issued a notice stating that between 21 August 2019 and 12 October 2020, 22 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis among students were discovered on the Pan’anhu campus of the School of Science and Arts of Jiangsu Normal University. Currently, 22 patients have dropped out of school for treatment.
According to the notice, from 10 to 11 October 2020, the teachers and students of the key classes who were strongly positive in the tuberculin test in the preliminary examination were screened by CT. After the CT screening, a total of 43 students were found to have abnormal chest CT images. It is isolated and observed separately. On 14 October, except for 4 students who were taken back by their parents to the local specialized hospital for diagnosis and treatment, the others were hospitalized in Xuzhou Infectious Disease Hospital for further diagnosis.
According to data, there are more than 8,600 students at Jiangsu Normal University.
Some netizens said in a post, “It happened last year. It wasn’t the students who caused this incident and they were suppressed by the school? It’s too wicked.” “There was no notice. Some teachers even just said that the epidemic situation requires us to wear masks and only treat tuberculosis. Don’t mention it.” “If it’s not for the hot search, the students of this school don’t know it?” “Is the reported number true?”
After the school was exposed to the epidemic, the school’s leaders were silent about the cause of the incident, and some students admitted that the school had mishandled it. The students of the school said that there was tuberculosis in the school last year, and the counselor warned against "nonsense" online.
A student in the School of Science and Arts told the Health Times that he had known that tuberculosis patients had appeared on the campus last year, but he had not heard of whether the school had screened close contacts, and had not seen the school organize elimination work or issued the announcement reminding everyone to pay attention to protection, as if tuberculosis was not treated as an infectious disease.
“No one in the school was wearing a mask at the time. Everyone was wearing a mask this year, but we dare not go out now, nor go to the cafeteria and library.” said the student.
On 29 September 2020, the school organized a meeting for students who tested positive. "The Beijing News" quoted a student surnamed Han as saying that in addition to students majoring in software engineering, there were also students from the School of Humanities and Business. They didn't know that they were strong positives until the meeting was over. Student Xiao said that the meeting was mainly about comfort, and the school did not remind everyone to pay attention to protection and just tell them to take medicine.
A student surnamed Wang from another class of software engineering said that some of the students have recently done CT examinations at their own expense. At present, 11 students in the class have chest CT showing that they may be tuberculosis, and they are all treated in the hospital. The doctor said that the diagnosis was basically confirmed.
In recent years, many schools in mainland China have also experienced tuberculosis epidemics. In addition to Jiangsu Normal University, Shaanxi Shangluo University and the Fourth Middle School in Taojiang County, Hunan Province also broke out the epidemic. However, information about the epidemic has been concealed by the Chinese Communist Party.
