This is a screening clinic in Chaoyang District, downtown Beijing, China.
After the weekend, citizens who receive corona inspection continue on Monday.
As the number of infections increased day by day, many schools, parks, restaurants, and sports facilities were closed.
Disinfection agents are also placed at the entrance of the apartment to control residents’ access.
Residents just watch the frequently changing quarantine measures in worry.

Two elderly infected people died in Beijing on Sunday, following the death of a corona infected person in their 80s for the first time in six months in China.
In addition to the capital, lockdown measures are continuing in large cities such as Shijiazhuang in Hebei Province and Wuhan in Hubei Province.
China, which has entered into precision quarantine to reduce economic damage, is responding with a ‘partial blockade’ instead of the entire city.
Meanwhile, Hong Kong’s head of government, Chief Executive John Lee, was diagnosed with the coronavirus shortly after returning from the APEC summit.
He did not wear a mask at APEC, shaking hands with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and sitting next to Chinese President Xi Jinping.
