  Ophthalmology departments in various hospitals in Zhengzhou City, the 
  provincial capital of Henan Province, were recently over-crowded as Pink Eye
  [a contagious, epidemic form of acute conjunctivitis] patients packed 
  every inch of the ophthalmology department's diagnostic offices. This disease 
  is also spreading to east and south Henan Province. Half of the students in a 
  school in east Henan Province contracted the disease; in a factory with over 
  200 workers in Luohei City, all the workers got it. 
  Pink Eye disease was rapidly spreading in Haikou City, Hainan Province at 
  the end of July. The number of patients reached at least 7,000. Currently, new 
  cases of the disease have appeared in cities and counties of Wenchang, Wanning 
  and Chengmai, and it continues to spread in Hainan Province.
  Pink Eye disease suddenly became epidemic in Shenzhen City, Guandong 
  Province. The number of Pink Eye patients in every major hospital increased 
  sharply, multiplying last week. Long waiting lines formed outside the 
  ophthalmology department and there was a shortage of the special eye-drops 
  needed to treat the disease. 
  According to records from major general and specialty hospitals in 
  Guangzhou City, Guandong Province, Guangzhou recently entered a peak period of 
  Pink Eye. According to statistics, five hundred more people catch the disease 
  every day. Over 15,000 Pink Eye patients visited 12 major hospitals in 
  Guanzhou in August.
