Wuhan authorities knocked on the door of every 11 million people in the city, declaring punishments for anyone who delayed reporting of corona virus infection.

Wang Zhonglin, new secretary of the Wuhan Party Committee, where the onset of corona pneumonia virus outbreaks (Covid-19), was issued on February 16 to conduct a three-day campaign across the city to ensure that Isolate all nCoV infections.

The campaign aims at 5 goals: all suspected nCoV infections are tested for nucleic acid, isolate all nCoV-infected patients, check all fever patients, isolate anyone who has ever been in close contact with the disease To ensure that all residential areas carry out the 24-hour blockade. Big data systems and artificial intelligence will be used to support the monitoring of this campaign.

Chinese state media said officials would conduct inspections of each house in Wuhan, a city of 11 million people and also a plague, to search and coerce patients. Anyone who is suspected of being infected with the virus will undergo mandatory testing and close contacts of patients are quarantined.

According to Chutian Daily, a newspaper in Wuhan, 10 quarantine centers similar to Fangcang field hospital will be set up in eight districts of the city, providing an additional 11,400 beds for people with mild symptoms. Buildings such as factories, industrial parks and bus stations have been converted into patient residences.

Neighborhoods and villages are also under 24 / 24h strict management, in effect as a blockade order. From today, anyone who wants to buy cough medicines, treatments for fevers at pharmacies or online will have to show a citizen ID.

In a press conference last week, former Wuhan Secretary Ma Quoc Cuong said 10.59 million residents of 4.21 million households in the city had undergone a medical examination, which is equivalent to the screening rate one after another. is 99% and 98.6%. Mr. Ma also pledged to February 11, all suspected corona virus infections will be checked.

However, many local people expressed doubts about this statement because they had never met any supervisor in the residential area. Some people said they could not be hospitalized even after being confirmed to have Covid-19.

Peng Zhiyong, a doctor at the Central South Hospital in Wuhan, explained that the city had a hard time counting the number of patients or suspected cases of infection with nCoV due to a lack of medical resources. An anonymous source said that after the new government order was issued, a number of volunteers were mobilized, making it easier to contact the people.

A February 17 directive by the Wuhan City People's Council to "win corona virus" warns people that those who do not comply with compulsory measures such as reporting cases of coughing, mild fever with People's Committees of wards or communes or if they are not quarantined, if infected, will be coerced. Those who delay reporting suspected or suspected cases of spreading false information will also be punished.

The video, posted on the website of Changjiang Daily, a newspaper by the Wuhan Party committee, showed health workers wearing protective clothing and knocking on people's doors, checking their body temperature.

"We are racing against time. This is a tough battle to kill, not a fight that can last long," the video narrator said. "It is a painful process but our war is about to come. The temporary blockade is in the interest of reunion in the near future. Wuhan will be thrilled again."

However, the people of Wuhan still complain about the harsh blockade on social networks. "We are absolutely not allowed to go out of the house, lose the most basic human rights. Defend as guards, abuse the little power they have. We must be guaranteed the freedom of the constitutional individual," a speaker in the video posted on Weibo.

Another social networking user also said that it "felt like being in prison" when she was banned from going out, even walking in the neighborhood.

The city-wide inspection campaign shows an escalation of the situation in Wuhan, where former officials are accused of covering up the epidemic, resulting in a rapid spread of the virus. The campaign began when this morning the top physician in Wuhan Luu Tri Minh, director of the Wuchang Hospital in Wuhan, died after a failed attempt to cure. The 51-year-old doctor is believed to have been infected with the corona virus during treatment for the patient.

Officials also announced that Dr. Hua De Fu, former director of the Chinese Medical Hospital in Wuzhou City, Hubei Province, died on February 13 from a viral infection. Earlier this month, ophthalmologist Ly Van Luong also died after being one of the first to warn about the deadly virus, but was arrested and reprimanded by police for spreading false rumors. .

Although the number of people with Covid-19 outside of Hubei province has decreased for 13 consecutive days, the situation in Wuhan is still serious. Local officials today reported an additional 1,807 cases were detected, bringing the total number of nCoV infections in Hubei province to 59,989 and the number of deaths was 1,789. Wuhan City alone recorded 1,600 new infections and 72 deaths.

The Hubei government on February 16 tightened the blockade. Unnecessary facilities are prohibited, all entertainment venues are closed, all group activities are suspended. About 200,000 rural communities were blocked, leaving only a single entrance and always being protected. Similar restrictions apply to urban communities.
