China seems to be pretty hardcore when it comes to quarantine and it seems to be working ???
I just wonder how all this quarantine stuff would hold up with all our entitled identities here in the USA...
How is China coping?
China has imposed more restrictions on the 60 million people living under lockdown in Hubei province - the centre of the outbreak - in an attempt to control the epidemic.
The use of private cars has been banned and residents have been told to stay at home unless there's an emergency.
Officials say there will be only one exception to this rule - every three days a single person from each household will be allowed out to buy food and other essential items.
The new measures come despite an announcement by China's State Council that the proportion of infected patients in a serious condition had fallen nationwide.
Foreign Minister Wang Yi also said that along with a drop in infections within Hubei there had been a rapid increase in the number of people who had recovered.
Meanwhile, authorities in the capital, Beijing, have ordered everyone returning to the city to go into quarantine for 14 days or risk punishment.
China's central bank will also disinfect and store used banknotes before recirculating them in a bid to stop the virus spreading.
