Shanghai: Turning residential complexes into quarantine centers – Rage and reactions – Watch video

Its principles Shanghai convert residential buildings in quarantine centers in order to house the growing number of patients with covid-19but this move has caused anger and reactions from neighbors who are worried that they are at risk of becoming infected.

An incident that was broadcast live on the Chinese messaging platform WeChat shows about 30 people wearing protective uniforms with the word “police” on their backs collide with other people outside a residential complex and to capture at least one.

A woman is heard crying while filming the scene. The video was watched by more than 10,000 people before it abruptly descended from the platform, which said it contained “dangerous content”.

“It’s not that I do not want to cooperate with the state, but how would you feel if you lived in a complex of buildings (…) where everyone has been found negative (in covid-19) and these people are allowed to enter?” Asked the woman who was shooting the video.

The Zhangjiang Group, which owns the building complex, announced that the authorities turned five of its empty buildings into quarantine facilities and informed him that the same would be done with nine more.

The group added that it transferred 39 tenants to rooms in another part of the residential complex and offered them compensation.

“On the afternoon of April 14, when our company organized the construction of the isolation fence, some residents blocked its construction,” the group said, adding that the problem has now been resolved.

Based the Chinese policy of “zero tolerance” in COVID, whoever is positive should be quarantined in specific places, even if he shows no symptoms, while his neighbors remain in isolation in their homes for 14 days. For this reason, the residents of the residential complexes that are turned into quarantine areas are worried that covid-19 will get stuck.

According to the Athenian-Macedonian News Agency, Shanghai authorities have begun converting schools, newly built residential buildings, as well as exhibition centers into quarantine centers, and last week announced that they have set up more than 160,000 beds in more than 100 campaign hospitals.
