[Breitbart] Local Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials in China’s southwestern Yunnan province forcibly quarantined over 5,000 residents of Jiegao district this week in an effort to curb the spread of the district’s latest Chinese coronavirus outbreak, the South China Morning Post reported Friday.
“More than 5,000 people from Jiegao district in Yunnan province were asked to pack their belongings on Monday [August 23] and Tuesday [August 24] and board buses taking them to a group quarantine centre in the city of Mangshi, 100km (62 miles) away,” the Post revealed, citing local government sources and residents.
A government source in the Yunnan city of Ruili, located 3.5 miles northwest of Jiegao district, told the Post on August 25 local CCP officials planned for the “evacuated” residents to stay in a group quarantine center for 14 days, during which time provincial health officials would “thoroughly screen everybody” for the Chinese coronavirus.
“He said the total evacuation of all the residents in the district had been completed, adding that the measure was the ‘last resort’ because the district had been locked down since March but had continued to report local infections,” the Post added. |
