China Installs Alarms to Prevent People Infected with Coronavirus from Leaving Shanghai

The authorities of the Chinese city of Shanghai said today, Friday, that they will tighten the rules of public quarantine, and the new measures include placing alarms for doors to prevent people with corona from leaving, as well as evacuating citizens from their homes for disinfection.

As the economic capital of China enters its fifth week of general closure, city officials said that all infected patients and close contacts will be transferred to the central quarantine run by the government.

Some residents will have to leave their homes, including those who have tested negative. The move comes days after people in two other communities in Shanghai were ordered to leave their homes and move to temporary residence.
