There were cases where the authorities sent more than 2,000 people to quarantine in the middle of the night saying that there were two confirmed cases.

A residential complex in Shanghai.



Someone kicked the front door and eventually broke it in.



It's a quarantine worker and a police officer.



This is to forcibly take residents who have tested positive for COVID-19 to quarantine.



[Shanghai resident: I will report it to the police.

(No need to report. The police are here.) Are there any reports of positive COVID-19?]



In Jiaxing City, which is adjacent to Shanghai, about 2,200 middle school students and teachers were transferred to quarantine centers in the middle of the night.



It was because there were two confirmed cases, and 150 buses were mobilized, reminiscent of a military operation.



Despite some easing, clashes between residents and authorities are continuing in Shanghai, where the lockdown continues for nearly 40 days.



[Choi Seung-hoon/Shanghai resident: Because of the guidelines that change every day, it must be said that trust in the Shanghai city government is broken.

As the complaints of citizens grow, the city government's response seems to become more coercive and violent, and there have been cases where the police (police) suddenly entered the (SNS) group chat room and started monitoring.]



Local officials have been caught stealing resident aid supplies, and a welfare facility has tried to transport a living elderly person to a funeral home by putting them in a body bag.



[Welfare facility staff: Alive, alive.

can't you see

I'm alive.

Don't cover it anymore.]



In the midst of this, it was confirmed that a man in his 40s, a Korean citizen, died of a heart attack while in self-quarantine.



The Chinese authorities seem to be trying hard to rectify the worsening public sentiment, such as hastily disciplined those involved in the corruption.
