being dragged from their homes by health workers in hazmat suits coursed through Chinese social media on Sunday before being pulled down on some platforms, as Shanghai’s lockdown enters its seventh week and pandemic restrictions continue to be intensified in Beijing.
Social media posts questioning the legality of forcibly removing people from their homes and taking them to quarantine facilities, or seizing their keys to allow health workers to disinfect apartments, also appear to have been removed in some cases. China’s Covid Zero policy requires all cases and their close contacts to be isolated in government facilities as a way of snuffing out transmission. The strategy was effective at quashing Covid early on in the pandemic, but is being challenged by more transmissible variants like Omicron.
The pandemic curbs are hitting China’s economy, with export growth the weakest since June 2020 in April. Officials on Sunday told all residents in Beijing’s district of Chaoyang — home to embassies and offices of multinationals including Apple and Alibaba Group — to work from home. This followed an order to shut down some businesses providing non-essential services, such as gyms and movie theatres, in the district to minimise infections.
