BEIJING (Global Times): Guangzhou, capital of South China's Guangdong Province, is speeding up its citywide nucleic acid testing, as a total of 94 infections were reported during the latest resurgence as of Saturday (June 5) including 80 confirmed cases and 14 asymptomatic infections.

Experts said that the Covid-19 strain in the latest epidemic, which was initially detected in India, is more contagious and spreads faster, posing a huge challenge for medical workers to complete the citywide nucleic testing within two days.
