Security cameras were installed as part of the government's fight against the spread of the corona virus in the country

In an unprecedented step, the Chinese government installed security cameras outside the doors of homes of civilians who were supposed to be in solitary confinement and, in even more extreme cases, installed surveillance cameras inside people's homes to combat the spread of the country's corona virus. About this invasive move, which almost completely eradicates any trace of privacy, the US CNN reported.

The CNN network reported the story of Ian Leipa, 34, originally from Ireland and now living in Beijing. Ian returned with his family from a trip to southern China to his home in Beijing, and upon receiving instructions from the government, they intended to begin a two-week home quarantine. The morning after the closure began, Ian opened his door and found a security camera mounted on the wall outside his apartment, with the camera lens facing him. "(When a surveillance camera is installed outside the door of your home), it's a huge violation of privacy," said Leipa, adding that "it just seems like a massive data collection and I don't know how much of it is actually legal."

He said he did not like what was going on and he asked the employee who was with the policeman what the camera would record, and in response the community worker presented him with his phone screen showing William standing at his house.
