Almost a month has passed since the lockdown (city blockade) of the new coronavirus infection countermeasure was taken in Shanghai, China, and local authorities installed metal fences at the entrances and exits of some buildings and forced them to do so. I made it impossible to go out. Despite strict regulations, it highlights the fact that the corona crisis in Shanghai is becoming more serious.
After the Shanghai city officials announced that they would step up measures to achieve a “dynamic zero corona” aiming for a Chinese-style zero corona, green mesh fences were installed one after another in the city. Residents witnessed a pile of trucks carrying a pile of fences over the weekend and the doorways of the building blocked, according to photos and posts shared on China’s social media Weibo. I can’t hide my upset.
This measure is inhumane, and many complain that it will block the evacuation route in the event of a fire and pose a serious danger. Looking at the photos posted on social media, a fence was also set up in a part of Yongkang Road, which is usually crowded with restaurants.
