An announcement is made at a large furniture store in Shanghai, which is crowded over the weekend.

People flocked to the exit all at once, saying that the entire store could be locked down.

As some customers rushed out of the store, quarantine and security personnel rushed to close the door.

However, as people who haven’t come out yet, screams are heard, and the guests forcefully open the door and push the staff to escape.

This happened when several people who had been in close contact with the confirmed person stopped by this store.

According to the announcement, about 300 customers remained in the store.

Eventually, he was imprisoned until dawn and then transferred to an isolation facility.

A post on social media was followed saying that only those who did not escape to keep the quarantine guidelines suffered damage.

Criticism is also continuing for tourists who were stranded in the lockdown after visiting the resort town of Hainan.

They told me not to get off the bus I was moving, and then told me to fill up the toilet in the bucket.

There is an increasing number of complaints on Chinese social media, ‘How can we save the economy in this way?’

The slump in domestic demand is deepening, with local governments having to change the PCR test fee, which was free, to a fee.
