January 9, Hebei Cangzhou Nanpi County villagers Wang Qiang (a pseudonym) to reporters for help, his family of five, his grandmother is 80 years old, parents have diabetes and hypertension, a negative nucleic acid test results, but the village cadres asked to force centralized isolation.
Wang Qiang said, “We are very worried about being infected during the centralized quarantine, but not going to the police will intervene.”
The Epoch Times reporter contacted the Nanpi County CDC, the staff said, “There are documents above, we implement according to policy, isolated or not to isolate themselves does not count. The specific policy we are not sure, centralized isolation 14 days.” When the reporter asked if not to go to the centralized isolation, whether it will be enforced, the staff excuses too busy to hang up the phone. When pressed by the reporter, he said, “We follow the regulations and must be isolated.”
The epidemic prevention policy has been changed overnight, leading to panic and local people suffering for political achievements
Wang Qiang told reporters, “Our town’s policy is not uniform, it was stipulated that after the nucleic acid testing of personnel back in the field, home isolation for 14 days, it is fine. We have been in home isolation for 7 days, and we were about to see the hope. It turned out that the town asked us to go to the county hotel for centralized isolation, and then home isolation. The problem is, they (town leaders) said the policy can change at any time, they themselves do not know, no one told us a letter, how many days of isolation?”
“The town leaders called today and said that tomorrow (January 10) they will arrange for centralized quarantine because the town’s hotel (quarantine) is full.”
“We let them (town leaders) make a special panic. The town leaders said that this time there are several thousand people returning to the county from abroad, all need to centralized isolation, they also have family members to centralized isolation together.”
“We are now worried, during the centralized quarantine, is not the possibility of being infected? If there is another outbreak in the centralized quarantine, what will we do? Will the state be in charge of the money for rescue and treatment then? Will someone be responsible for this thing?”
Wang Qiang revealed that “the person in charge of the prevention and control of the epidemic said that Dongguang County, Hebei (the epidemic) is powerful.” According to the current official notification of the epidemic in Hebei, the epidemic in Dongguang County is not mentioned.
Wang Qiang said, “We hope to be able to reflect to the government through the media, can we quarantine at home? The so-called ‘look to Shijiazhuang’, the surface performance looks good, playing the so-called ‘people-friendly ideas’ to do some official articles.”
The “one-size-fits-all” mandatory centralized isolation does not cooperate or be detained
“At the beginning, there are people in the village organization to send food, and then they were asked to centralized isolation, if not, there may be no one to manage. And do not go to centralized isolation, there may be legal responsibility, 110 may be involved. We heard that Shijiazhuang has been detained for disobeying the arrangement.”
“If you do not go to centralized isolation, and finally be forced to send over, and then back to the village, the village cadres will not be kind.”
“We also do not know if we will charge after the centralized quarantine? We charge 90 yuan a person for full nucleic acid testing, not to mention centralized isolation? If the state does not give reimbursement, we will have to ask for money later.”
Shijiazhuang officials informed that 11,708 people have been centrally quarantined. A number of people have reported online that there are mandatory centralized quarantine charges, with costs varying from tens to hundreds of yuan per day around the world.
Some people are taking advantage of the chaos to make money from the national tragedy, and people are paying for it.
Wang Qiang revealed to reporters, “Nanpi County Hospital haphazard charges, nucleic acid testing 90 yuan a time, Gao Cheng District only charged 50 yuan a time. The highest in Cangzhou city is 80 yuan, our Nanpi County is so poor, belongs to the poor county, but also charges so high. The village leaders designated the Nanpi County Hospital, not allowing us to go to other hospitals to do nucleic acid testing.”
“When I went to Nanpi County Hospital to do nucleic acid testing, several windows, there must be several thousand people, are people next to people. Some people reported that the distance was too close and the staff simply ignored it.”
“We are January 3 from Shijiazhuang back to Nanpi County, in Shijiazhuang for two days, is considered to return home from outside. The village leaders asked us to do the nucleic acid test, mandatory, but the fee is unreasonable. Our family of 4 went to do it and spent 360 yuan at once, originally this year (2020) money is not good.”
“Usually people seldom go to the county hospital to see a doctor and feel that hospital is particularly shady. Now we are forced to go there to do nucleic acid testing, I estimate that (the county hospital) can make several million a day.”
Wang Qiang thinks, “If the nucleic acid test national uniform pricing, then I am also convinced. Shijiazhuang provincial capital is only 50 yuan, the Price Bureau and Drug Administration did not unified pricing, I think this is very bad.”
