In Beijing, a man forced more than 5,000 people to be quarantined after missing the isolation period to which he was obliged due to risky contacts with those infected with Covid-19 and moving freely in the community where he lived.
The Beijing resident, in his 40s, authorities said, had entered isolation after having visited, on May 23, a shopping center considered a “risk area”. Then, during the period of isolation, he will have “walked down the street several times, having moved around the community, increasing the risk of the epidemic escalating,” says The Guardian newspaper.
Five days later, both the man and the woman tested positive for Covid-19, leading to the isolation of the entire community. Residents of the same building where the couple lives — 258 people — they were placed in a government quarantine center and more than 5,000 residents in the same neighborhood were ordered to stay home..
