Residential complexes get stricter regulations
SHANGHAI’S 13,000 residential communities have been ordered to set up checkpoints at entrances and exits with 24-hour temperature checks and a record of visitors, local civil affairs authorities said amid the novel coronavirus pneumonia outbreak.
All visitors must have their temperature checked and information recorded. Anyone with an abnormal temperature will be reported and transferred to quarentine, according to a guideline issued by the Shanghai Civil Affairs Bureau yesterday.
Incoming vehicles will also be recorded, and designated areas for parcel and food deliveries set up, it said.
Walled residential complexes are required to open only one entrance if conditions permit, and management should also be imposed at residential communities without walls or without property management.
Villages should also open only one entrance and enhance management on people from outside Shanghai, the guideline noted.
Neighborhood or village committees in the city are ordered to enhance patrols and screening at doorways, and develop an information registration system for people from outside Shanghai.
They should inform people from outside Shanghai to report their health information and fulfill information registration, the notice said.
People from key infection areas without symptoms must stay in quarentine for 14 days for medical observation, and neighborhood or village committees should alert police in the event of any failure to do so.
