Some 84 homes were broken into by authorities in the city of Guangzhou so they could hunt for people attempting to evade quarantine, and to disinfect the properties, local media reported
Authorities in China have apologised after raiding the houses of those who had been forced to go into quarantine hotels in an effort to find 'close contacts' who might be hiding.
It comes after around 2,000 people were told to extend their stay at a holiday resort in the country after more than 500 cases of the virus were found. The moves are part of the country's hard-line approach to fighting COVID-19, focussing on its controversial zero-.The government in the Liwan district of the mega-city apologised for its"oversimplified and violent" behaviour, the Global Times newspaper said, adding that an investigation had been launched and that the"relevant people" will be severely punished.
Meanwhile, in the tourist resort or Beihai in the south of the country, around 2,000 visitors were forced to extend their stays after 500 people tested positive for COVID-19, meaning they were banned from leaving.
