Migrant Worker from Hubei Cannot Afford Quarantine Fee, Hiding in Construction Site

Amy sun
During the coronavirus outbreak, the CCP authorities imposed forced quarantine and charged high quarantine fees. Video 1: Migrant Worker Cannot Afford Quarantine Fee A video shows a migrant worker from Xiaochang County, Xiaogan City, Hubei Province hiding in an open air construction site because he cannot afford the quarantine fee. “Here is a young man from Hubei. He told me that he worked here last year and didn’t return to his hometown. Because he is from Xiaogan city in Hubei, a city in Xiaochang County, his former employer required that he go into centralized quarantine. He had no other options.” “The quarantine and treatment fee, including food and accommodation, is very expensive. 80 yuan ($11.50) per day for food, 150 yuan ($21.50) for lodging, which would be 2 or 3 thousand yuan ($287.00 to $430.00) for 14 days. To avoid the fee, he resorted to living here.” “Such a young man, having to live inside a construction site water pipe. Are you seeing this? I saw how helpless he was, so I brought him a quilt, but I have to hide this from the boss. If the boss were to find out, he would chase him away. This is how it’s like for people from Hubei. When Hubei people leave Hubei, they face unfair treatment like this. This is a kind of exclusion, a kind of discrimination. I just took his temperature. It’s really quite normal. 34.6 degrees Celsius.” “Please spread this video by reposting it. No matter which province or city it is in China, they all treat people from Hubei like this. It’s just too unfair. As long as they see that someone is from Hubei, they will make him or her undergo quarantine. And go into a centralized quarantine at the person’s own expense. Board and lodging expenses for half a month—it’s nearly 3000 RMB ($430.00).” Video 2: People Under Quarantine Must Pay A Fee The following scene took place in a quarantine site in mainland China, with 20-30 people showing up in the footage. According to the lady who took the footage, after 14 days of quarantine, the authorities asked each person to pay 2,520 Yuan ($360) as the quarantine fee. She said they cannot afford it, and everyone is waiting for the supervisor to come and give them a final answer. “Look, those who have gone through a 14-day quarantine cannot go home yet. Everyone must pay 2,520 Yuan ($360) as the quarantine fee. We cannot afford it, and we are waiting for the supervisor to come, to give us a final answer.”
