Hebei Province has been reduced to the worst-hit area of ​​the current round of SARS-CoV-2 (CCP virus) epidemic, and the number of newly confirmed cases in the country continued to surge on January 16. . The outside world has noticed that a set of figures disclosed by the vice governor of the province at a press conference is inconsistent with the report of the Hebei Provincial Health Commission.

According to official reports, from 0 to 24:00 on 16 January, a total of 92 new local infections were reported in Hebei Province, including 72 confirmed cases and 20 asymptomatic infections. Hebei Province has been officially recognized as the province with the highest number of new local patients in the country for several days. Even so, the outside world still found that the authorities were concealing the epidemic. The deputy governor of Hebei Province stated at a press conference on the epidemic situation on the afternoon of 16 January that as of 14 January, the second round of nucleic acid tests in Shijiazhuang had been completed and 247 positive cases had been found. A week ago, the first round of positive cases of nucleic acid testing was 354. However, the Hebei Provincial Health Commission reported that within 24 hours of 14 January, there were 90 new confirmed cases in the province, including 84 in Shijiazhuang; 9 new asymptomatic infections in the province, including 5 in Shijiazhuang. Obviously, the epidemic notification of the Health Commission did not count the hundreds of positive cases found in the second round of nucleic acid testing in Shijiazhuang. Earlier, netizens pointed out that the report of the epidemic situation in Hebei was tricky. For example, it only spiked to 82 cases on January 10, dropped to 40 cases on the 11th, 90 cases on the 12th, 81 cases on the 13th, and 90 cases again on the 14th. For example, 90 cases of three degrees on the 15th are reminiscent of the precedent of the erratic number of confirmed diagnoses in Wuhan. Under the relevant reports of the state media CCTV, there were many questioning voices, "How does Hebei report 90 every day, is it a coincidence? Or do you dare not report more, and report 90 every day?" "The number of daily reports in Shijiazhuang is pretty average. "In order to ensure that there are no more than a hundred, 89 today, 91 tomorrow, 90 after tomorrow, we will come in this order, and the quantity for the next few days will be arranged for you in advance." Before that, Hebei netizens posted a list of positive patients on Weibo on 3 January, stating that 6 positive cases were found in Xinle, Zhengding County, and the Second Provincial Hospital under Shijiazhuang's jurisdiction. However, Shijiazhuang authorities notified only one confirmed case on the same day.
