Family Pleads as 16-Year-Old Daughter Dies in COVID-19 Quarantine in China

Reports of a 16-year-old girl dying in a COVID-19 quarantine center after her family’s pleas for help went ignored have been spreading on Chinese social media since Oct. 18 during CCP’s party congress and has sparked public outrage. The girl’s father is believed to have been silenced by authorities after he spoke publicly of her death.

In a video that went viral, the father was seen filming a girl deceased in a hospital bed. He said his name is Guo Lele, and he lives in Qizhuang Village of Ruzhou City in Henan Province. He revealed his national ID and cellphone numbers. He said his daughter, Guo Jingjing, was placed in a COVID isolation center in Wanji high school on Oct. 14. She started to have a high fever on Oct. 16 and on Oct. 17, she was convulsing, dehydrated, and trembling on a bunk bed.

The father said that medical staff at the isolation center ignored their plea for medical help. They called emergency line 110 and ambulance line 120 many times but were also ignored. The delay caused his daughter’s condition to become worse, Guo said.

At 7 pm on Oct. 17, his daughter was sent to the Fourth People’s Hospital of the County for emergency treatment and announced dead. He’s now requesting the regime’s Central Commission for Discipline Inspection to investigate allegations that the Ruzhou City government improperly implemented epidemic control measures, demanding justice for his daughter.

The girl’s aunt said in the video that all six members of the family have also been forced into a quarantine center as close contacts.

When she went into isolation, she was fine, he said of his daughter. “She had been there for four days and then suffered from convulsions, vomiting, and high fever. Without timely treatment, the child is gone.”

A post in a social media group called “Ruzhou Experimental Middle School” claimed to be from a woman whose sister and Guo Jingjing had been quarantined together in the school dormitory. According to the post, Guo Jingjing had a high fever and was left unattended, causing acute encephalitis, vomiting, foaming, and convulsions. When she was on the verge of death, she was eventually sent to the hospital. In the hospital, she was in a coma and was left unattended on the hospital bed. At 3 a.m. her mother was notified that she had no heartbeat.

Father is Silenced

After news of the incident went viral on social media, the Sound of Hope radio network talked to Guo on the phone, who said, “Our policy here [in China] is that as long as there is contact or close contact, all of them will be taken away. At 2 a.m. on Oct. 14, our whole family was taken away to the quarantine point.”

Then, the call was cut off. The reporter called Guo again but has not been able to get through. According to the CCP’s usual tactics, it’s suspected that Guo’s phone was being monitored by the regime as the authorities try to stop him from speaking to the outside world.

Two reporters from The Epoch Times had the same experience. Just as Guo and the reporters started talking on the phone, Guo coincidentally had another call come in. He then hung up and hasn’t answered calls from the reporters since.

Zero-COVID Policies Responsible for Murder

Dan Xia, a former lecturer at a university in mainland China, told The Epoch Times on Oct. 19 that quarantine should be about preventing infection and protecting people’s lives but under the CCP, it’s not about protecting people’s lives but about being politically correct.

She said, “Didn’t we see this absurd scene? It is said that to prevent the spread of virus, factories are not allowed to open, but people are waiting in groups to do PCR testing. That is also gathering, so why allow it? It is because it is politically correct to gather together to do a PCR test, but it is not politically correct for workers to gather to work together.”

Dan Xia said, “This poor girl from Ruzhou, Henan, died from the CCP’s politically correct epidemic prevention policy. The current CCP officialdom only talks about politics, not common sense; the CCP officials only care about their positions, they don’t care about the people’s livelihood.”

Ms. Liu, a retired professor from a mainland Chinese college who didn’t give her full name for fear of reprisal, told The Epoch Times that this was just another wrongful death to add to the abuse that has been China’s COVID-19 quarantines. The 16-year-old girl had a high fever for three days and her life was in critical condition, but numerous calls and online pleas for medical help went ignored.

Liu said, “What is the purpose of paying taxes to the government? Does the CCP still treat people as people? This evil zero-COVID policy is tantamount to murder! This girl was killed by the CCP. So far, the CCP’s total disregard for human life has reached an outrageous level. Can they totally ignore if people live or die when they are put in quarantine?”

She revealed that if one person is infected, the entire community will be pulled into centralized quarantine. Now, mainland Chinese regard quarantine as a gate of hell, and everyone is afraid of being quarantined.

She appealed, “If everyone said no to the CCP, what would the result be? But they all obey, and the outcome of obedience would be like the girl in Ruzhou.”
