Some residents of Shanghai, China, are revolting against the confinement imposed on them. Some lack food, others see their homes requisitioned. The city has been sealed off for almost a month.
In China, Tuesday April 19, the 25 million inhabitants of Shanghai are confined due to a rebound in the Covid-19 epidemic. In the city, everything has been closed for almost a month. Rarely, scuffles took place with the police. On images published on Chinese social networks, residents protest against the requisition of their building, which must be transformed into a quarantine center for the sick. In the city, which officially has 20,000 cases of Covid-19, everyone must be tested, all the time. Truckers wait in their hundreds at the entrances to Shanghai.
Only delivery people are authorized to circulate, if they are negative for Covid-19. Many sleep under bridges, so as not to return home and take the risk of being contaminated. In Shanghai’s financial and business district, some traders and bankers have chosen confinement to the office, where they sleep, eat and work. If the Chinese economic capital is at a standstill, the confinement continues.
