BEIJING: Only two imaginable cases of covid-19 have sparked chaotic scenes in Shanghai, with crowds of other people realizing they were running out of an Ikea building and store in an attempt to escape a lockdown under China’s strict coronavirus rules.
The country’s covid-0 strategy consists of instant lockdowns and quarantines, in only a handful of cases, and the measures have sparked anxiety and anger in some cities.
Videos widely shared on social media and verified by AFP showed a small organization of employees dressed in PPE seeking to keep the main doors of a Shanghai building closed on Friday after an employee there noticed close contact with a covid case.
A giant crowd is then seen passing in front of the outnumbered staff, fleeing the construction as onlookers film the scene on their cell phones.
Other people were seen dragging what appeared to be a steel barricade for several meters as they fled the mall.
Close contacts may face days of quarantine and surveillance under Chinese fitness standards.
Similar scenes took place Saturday at an Ikea store in Shanghai’s Xuhui district, when the fitness government tried to lock consumers in place due to an “abnormal” result.
Video clips shared online showed a giant organization of other people looking to leave.
In one scene, screams are heard as they retreat to keep the doors closed.
The crowd makes its way through the door and other people are seen running out.
The 25 million citizens of Shanghai, China’s largest city, have been dealing with strict covid regulations since the beginning of this year, when it closed for two months due to an outbreak.
The measures have hindered business activity and some citizens have reported difficulties in non-Covid medical and food care.
They also sparked protests from citizens who oppose the authorities.
Anger has also reached the southern island of Hainan, where more than 80,000 tourists were stranded at Sanya’s hotel earlier this month due to a Covid surge.
Travelers protested there, with posts on social media last weekend showing crowds in the street shouting for leaders to meet with them.
China is the only major economy still sticking to a 0 Covid strategy, which delays the peak travel seasons of local tourism.
The country’s borders have been largely closed since early 2020, halting foreign tourism.
