Karl took to Facebook over the weekend to say ‘As a Greystonian who has lived in China for past 18 years , just wanted to share that the city I live in Dongguan , with a population of 10million is getting back to normal this week after about 6 weeks of full lockdown during which the whole city followed social distancing/isolation instructions , all schools shut down (with online learning taking over) , bars and restaurants , and most factories/businesses shut with limited delivery services and supermarkets got over the initial panic and kept shelves stocked and one person per household was allowed to the shops every 3 days and temperatures were checked and hand sanitizer provided before entering anywhere.
Now anyone who travels from any country to China must go into self quarantine for 14 days regardless of having symptoms or not , and it seems to be working.
