Hundreds in hazmat suits moved to quarantine facilities under China’s strict zero-Covid policy

Hundreds of people in hazmat suits were seen lining the streets of Wuxi, China, on July 1, 2022, waiting to be transported to a quarantine facility. This came after a cluster of 27 new asymptomatic Covid-19 cases were detected that day. China has adhered to its hardline zero-Covid approach, despite the world’s attempts to coexist with the virus. The hardline policy has also sparked discontent and even rare protests from its citizens.
