New community case

The new community case, a 39-year-old female, lives at 507 Xizang Bei Lu in Zhijiang Xi Lu Subdistrict of Jing'an District.

In addition to her place of residence, she had visited:

  • Family Mart convenience store and a food court on Pushan Lu in Jing'an District

  • A steamed bun store on Zhonghuaxin Lu in Jing'an District

20,000 beds prepared in Guangzhou...

Guangzhou reported 6,296 new cases of COVID-19 this morning, Wednesday, November 16, a jump of 1,172 from yesterday's 5,124.

It marks the sixth day in a row that COVID-19 cases have increased in the city, the second day in a row that cases have increased by more than 1,000, and the first time ever that Guangzhou has reported more than 6,000 cases in one day.

In response, Guangzhou has created six makeshift hospitals with more than 20,000 beds for the isolation and medical observation of asymptomatic cases.
