Authorities in China have apologised after raiding the houses of those who had been forced to go into quarantine hotels in an effort to find 'close contacts' who might be hiding.

The moves are part of the country's hard-line approach to fighting COVID-19, focussing on its controversial zero-.The government in the Liwan district of the mega-city apologised for its"oversimplified and violent" behaviour, the Global Times newspaper said, adding that an investigation had been launched and that the"relevant people" will be severely punished.
