[The Epoch Times, April 30, 2022](Reported by Li Bei and Wang Jiayi, reporters from The Epoch Times Special Department) The virus has not disappeared since the closure of Shanghai, and the strict “clearing” has brought serious secondary disasters and disasters to the society. Humanitarian crisis. However, the authorities still insist on “clearing the social dimension”. On April 27, Vice Premier Sun Chunlan of the Communist Party of China once again stressed the need to continue the “zero policy” led by Xi Jinping.
The first timetable set by Sun for Shanghai to achieve “social zero” was April 20, but on that day, only 2 of the 16 districts in Shanghai were said to have basically achieved the goal. So the second timetable was set again on April 22, but this time only one district said it basically met the standard.
The so-called “social clearing” is a process in the CCP’s “clearing policy”, which means that all new infected people are found in isolation and control places, and no new infected people will appear on the social level.
For districts that have not reached the basic social level, the authorities require that they continue to adhere to comprehensive prevention and control measures such as “global ‘static management’ and full (nucleic acid) testing and screening”.
Ms. Xu, who lives in a street in Shanghai’s Pudong New Area, told The Epoch Times that her place issued a notice on the 25th about the “clearing and tackling the silent period”. The notice requires that from April 25 to 27, all residents of the community must stay at home, except for the nucleic acid testing organized by the unified organization. At the same time, the community express delivery office must be closed, and all express delivery services must be rejected. During this period, all orders and distribution activities must be stopped. This is stricter than the previous “hard quarantine” measures.
The so-called “hard isolation” began on April 23, which means that all the closed and controlled areas will be locked and the gates of the community will be locked, and the security will be controlled 24 hours a day. It is to turn the entire area or building into an isolation control area, in order to achieve “social zero” outside the isolation control area.
Ms. Xu said that in a 25-storey building with 200 residents, the doors were locked outside, so that all residents could only stay in their own homes and “stay at home”; For buildings that cannot be locked, according to photos taken from upstairs by other residents of the same community, a fence of more than 2 meters high is used to surround the building door.
Ms. Xu said that because an elderly couple tested positive for nucleic acid in the building where she lived, it has been under lockdown since March 21, and as of April 28, it has been closed for 39 days. Only one of the five exits of the community is reserved and guarded by special personnel.
She said: “We have to do testing every day, either do antigen testing ourselves or go out for nucleic acid testing. It’s okay now, in the first few weeks, nucleic acid testing was done every day, thousands of residents in the entire community, every day All gather in the central garden for sampling and testing.”
