“If there's one infection after you've been released, you're going back to quarantine�
Documentary filmmaker Christian Petersen-Clausen is stuck in his apartment in Shanghai as the city-wide lockdown is ongoing.
He told 5 Live’s Clare McDonnell people are only allowed to re-enter their ‘community’ after seven days with no infection- “if there is one case, the clock rewinds.�
A ‘community’ in Shanghai consists of “seven high-rise buildings with 22 floors and eight apartments per floor.�
Asked if this policy is sustainable, Christian said “we don’t know how this can be achieved …if there’s one infection after the seven days, you go back into quarantine.�
He described the people of Shanghai as feeling “dispirited� as more videos emerge of people going through “breakdowns.�
