China: Villagers in Shunyi, a suburb of Beijing, have laid down an unwritten rule, "intransigence, foreign invasion" since the outbreak of pneumonia.

A red ribbon was hung on the gate to Tianjiaying village in Shunyi, northeast of Beijing on January 27 as a warning. Officials in the village wearing masks and reflective clothing are also deployed to control this "blockade".

Starting last week, the village's public announcement system issued a warning, reminding people not to invite visitors and calling anyone recently to Wuhan, where the strange pneumonia-related pneumonia outbreak originated ( nCoV) caused 106 deaths so far, reporting to the authorities.

"We grow our own leeks, we have a lot of frozen pork, rice and cooking oil. So we don't need to go out," Lu Weian, a villager, told Reuters by phone. "Every house is an isolated area," she said.

The village, hundreds of kilometers away from Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province, is just one of the localities in the country that is bewildered by the spread of nCoV. The Chinese social network also posted many photos and videos of similar vigilance throughout China. Some villages use vehicles to block the entrance to the village, others even erect concrete fences.

Zhengzhou Town, Hebei Province near Beijing on January 27 distributed 1,000 yuan (US $ 145) to a reliable informant about anyone who has been to Wuhan but has yet to issue a government report.

"We work very carefully and list everyone who comes from the affected area," Ye, a town committee member told Reuters on January 28. "We don't know what to do even though there are people who call to provide clues. Most of the calls are to detect the cars that carry the Hubei sea," Ye said.

Even in the center of Beijing, a number of people and authorities also monitor and report on people who have been to Wuhan. "Our mission is to find those people and implement safety measures. Don't be afraid to become informants," said Chen Geng, a retired citizen from Dongcheng who was elected. said the chief of the district in a Beijing inner city district.

Over the weekend, Mr. Chen went to each house to check if anyone came to Wuhan or whether guests were from Hubei. He said that some people related to Wuhan were asked to stay home for some time. But for those from Wuhan, the stigma is even more pronounced.

"I think I'm the loneliest person in the world right now," said Carmen Wang, a 23-year-old student at Peking University, originally from Wuhan. She had to cancel her plans to go home for the Lunar New Year when news of nCoV spread.

Wang said she was shunned by her classmates, and people texted each other to remind her not to visit her to avoid spreading it. Wang had to order food and watch TV alone. "If you come to eat with me or go out with me, I sneeze, they will immediately blame me, so this is the best way," Wang said.

"We are not lacking in humanity, but life must be first," an unnamed villager explained the villagers' actions amid the epidemic, when interviewed by Reuters. He refused to provide the location of his village. "I don't want to say it because I don't want you to come here," the person said.
