Officials allegedly announced the emergency after an alarming surge in cases that experts describe as unprecedented in scope. In densely populated cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, patients reportedly face hours-long waits for hospital beds, and many are forced to seek care in crowded hallways.
