Diplomat Eddie Shapira, who currently serves as Consul General of Israel in Shanghai, announced this weekend on his Facebook account that he was held in detention for 10 days, in a hospital in this city, due to the policy of ” zero covid”, implemented by the Asian government.
According to Shapira, the conditions in which he was “reminiscent of those of a prison” and lived “the strangest 10 days you can imagine.”
He asserted that “the problem is that I got it in the most wrong place in the world: in China.” «Here they take cases of morbidity as seriously as if three years had not passed and they had not learned anything and they are for the total separation of any person exposed to the sick. The patients themselves are admitted to special hospitals, “he added.
It is worth mentioning that China is currently registering one of the most severe outbreaks of COVID-19, which is why it has implemented restrictive measures, which have been reduced due to the protests of thousands of protesters.
