China’s zero covid political dynamic is precisely what it says: one case of covid is too much and is treated with the utmost seriousness.
Lockdowns are imposed immediately after a single Covid case is discovered, limited to individual buildings and complexes, but which can spread within a city.
This is the experience of living with zero-Covid in China.
For those who live in places where there has never been a citywide lockdown, the first thing they do when they wake up is seek official updates to see if Covid has damaged their city’s defenses.
Now there are other types of instances of Covid. Si a case was found in an already blocked area, you can breathe a sigh of relief – one cannot block what is already blocked. But, if a case is detected in the community, closures of buildings, homes and grocery shopping malls can spread throughout the city.
The recent movements of each user who tested positive will also be published. I hope you didn’t party at the same bar on Friday night. If he did, it will be a mi Jie or a close contact. Your fitness code will turn red. and its construction will go to “stasis management” for a few days.
Unless you plan to spend the foreseeable long term hiding in your apartment, the time on your 0 Covid to-do list is to get a he-suan test or PCR.
At any given time, the effects of 24-hour verification (although it is sufficient to have a verification result of 48 or 72 hours) are possibly suddenly required to enter verification. Everywhere.
The smart news is that tests are now loose and effects are automatically displayed in your fitness code. Even better news is that the bizi flip-flop (inserting a cotton swab deep into the nose) is no longer fashionable. The swab is now soft. instead, it led to the inside of his mouth.
In Tier 1 cities, test stations are located on every corner, reducing wait times. In smaller cities with fewer testing facilities, queues weave intricate geometric patterns around entire blocks.
You can also queue by taking the PCR check at a hospital or paid control station. It will charge you around 15 yuan (2. 90 Singapore dollars). Interestingly, hardly anyone does. Instead, other people use a stool to save a spot in a queue before a control station opens.
A lock that can be locked or locked.
A closure of your residential building can take place when you are working, which means you will be kicked out of your apartment. Similarly, your office building could crash the moment you pass out from a café.
Blockages are also more likely to occur when you’re at home or in the and then locked up.
It’s best to be prepared for any of the eventualities. Some other people have their computer (for work) and documents (for checking into a hotel) with them when they venture outside. Many also have an emergency kit in their office.
I’m on the minimalist side. My medicine cabinet includes underwear and socks, some t-shirts and clothes, coffee and snacks and earplugs. However, some of my colleagues have a pillow, a bed and a blanket in their reservation.
“Can we travel there from here?” It’s probably the ultimate question about zero covid.
In “here” and “here” you can complete any city or province. Traveling from city A to city B requires knowing the existing policy for arrivals to city B from city A, but this policy evolves faster than an AI algorithm.
This can go from not being necessary (the effects of the 48-hour PCR check don’t count; you want them to take a bus, let alone a plane) to 3 days of home quarantine on arrival, or even hotel quarantine on arrival.
In addition, politicians can go back in time. See below.
When you went to a classmate’s wedding in Inner Mongolia, your city’s adventure to Inner Mongolia was just like in 2019. But! Two days after his return, the city of Inner Mongolia, many kilometers from the wedding venue, has five positive cases.
If you come from a small town or village, start preparing – the new Covid regulations in Inner Mongolia will apply to anyone who has recently left.
All new arrivals from the vast Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region will soon be contacted and, depending on their local government’s surveillance point, will be forced to do a few days of home quarantine or, if cases in Inner Mongolia continue to rise, they will be dispatched. in a short in a quarantine hotel.
The merit of zero-Covid is that it not only improves your knowledge of local geography, but also sharpens your logistical and analytical skills.

An example. He plans to drive to his favorite campground over the weekend, but on Friday explosive news breaks out: “In County X, the motive force of a Hunan truck with a six-ton shipment of catfish tested positive. “Your brain reacts with the speed of a supercomputer.
“Canton X is 27. 8 km from my house and 45. 6 km north-northwest of the camp. It is surrounded by County N, County M and County Z, all of which are now closed and roads are blocked,” he notes.
“Local catfish wholesalers are located in districts A and B, which means it’s also more productive for them. According to the above data, going to camp has only an 11% chance of success. “
The simplest and safest zero-Covid option is to sit still. It does not take place like at home.
You can identify the home of someone who has experienced lockdown through the large amount of food (human and animal) and stored drinks, the collection of foam rollers and yoga mats, and the indoor bike.
In theory, gated housing complexes allow for the delivery of food and goods, but a true veteran of closures will not risk and will keep your apartment in a state of total preparation for the fight.
