Shocking social media videos have captured the horror, fear and fury of some Chinese citizens when they were being quarantined in the wake of the novel coronavirus outbreak.
One trending clip shows an emotional woman screaming in a metal box when officers used the container to take her into isolation.
While another section of footage apparently captures a family of four being dragged out of a building by officers in hazmat suits.
China’s Vice Premier last week ordered Wuhan officials to put all confirmed and potential coronavirus patients as well as their close contacts and those having fever into quarantine camps.
She also urged Communist officials off all levels in the nation take active lead in this ‘wartime condition’, or face being ‘nailed onto the pillar of historical shame forever’.
In one of the videos widely circulating on Twitter and YouTube, a woman and a man can be seen being escorted into a metal box at the back of a pickup truck.
The woman can be heard screaming after workers donning pink hazmat suits closed the door of the cube.
