SHANGHAI - A transparent plastic bag dropped at the door of my Shanghai apartment contained a handful of surgical masks along with a “friendly notice” informing me that I was under home quarantine for two weeks.
“People who returned from or passed through Hubei to enter the municipality must actively submit to temperature monitoring ... and consciously implement home quarantine or submit to centralized supervision for 14 days,” it said. As a nurse standing at my door explained, the best way was to place a glass thermometer under the armpit for five minutes. As she spoke, a neighbor looked on anxiously.
One of the men informed me that I should know there is an “epidemic” going on in Hubei and I should be subject to special control measures, including two weeks of isolation at home.
