Behind the Hubei Coronavirus Lockdown

China’s government has imposed an unprecedented lockdown in Hubei province to contain the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19). At least 57 million people are living quarantine conditions in over a dozen large cities across the province.

While the overall effectiveness of such extreme containment measures is still unknown, China’s healthcare infrastructure has been pushed to the breaking point. Hospitals in the quarantine zones face supply shortages and medical staff endure draconian working conditions. Fear of the virus, lack of medical access, isolation and a stream of misinformation from authorities have left many citizens doubting the effectiveness of their government.
