‘Wartime mode’: A COVID-19 dispatch from Shijiazhuang

“We were notified that if one person in the entire apartment complex tested positive, then all residents would have to do an in-house 14-day quarantine,” writes Todd Jackson, an American in Shijiazhuang, Hebei, which went into “wartime mode” this week to battle a COVID-19 outbreak. All in all, though, residents have complied with authorities, without much panic or pushback.
