Isolate close contacts from time to time, or arrange for temporary accommodation for medical staff.

The reporter visited the scene this morning (26th) and found that Huiming Village is only about five minutes away from a nearby middle school and primary school. Among them, Yongsheng Court of Yongsheng Court and Shenghui Building of Huiming Village are only less than ten meters away. . Residents of Yongshengyuan were surprised by the government's measures and considered that the distance was too close to accept the practice.

Residents of Yongshengyuan worry about being infected

Another resident, Mr. He, was also surprised by the approach. He bluntly did not expect that the newly completed housing estates would be used for isolation. Although he understood the need to isolate close contacts in Wuhan Pneumonia, he did not think it was necessary to act near schools and residential buildings. Isolated place. He said that as ordinary citizens "do what they do", they can only wear masks when going out to raise their awareness of epidemic prevention.
