A Christian human rights lawyer was ordered to delete his posts on the coronavirus (Covid-19). Reports said that police warned the lawyer, Sui Muqing, that his posts on the situation in Wuhan were damaging to the Party and ordered him to take them down.

A report by one Christian said that people are ‘falling in the street’ and corpses are just covered up in the hospital corridors. ‘The worst thing is when the doctors in tears say that everything that is in the news is not true, they say that there are many more infected and dying. There is also information that there is a lack of medical personnel and medicines.’

Even so, Christians in Wuhan have been giving out face masks on the streets and sharing their faith with passers-by.
