Chinese Authority Is Offering People$140 To Tell On Those Who Have Visited Wuhan by Rickyrick: 8:23pm On Feb 04, 2020
In a means to contain the rapidly-spreading Wuhan coronavirus, one county in the northern province of Hebei in China is offering a 1000 yuan ($140) bounty for each Wuhan person reported by residents, while the Heilongjiang province is threatening the death penalty to anyone caught deliberately spreading the virus.

In the eastern province of Jiangsu, police reportedly used metal poles to barricade the door of a family that had just come back from Wuhan and now the family relies on their neighbors to drop food on their back balcony for them.

The outbreak of the virus occurred in the central province of Hubei in December, and since then, authorities across the country have implemented strict controls, including checkpoints to screen people for fevers in toll booths, hotels, grocery stores, and train stations.

Several cities, including the epicenter Wuhan, have been put on lockdown, with government officials asking anyone traveling from the city to put themselves into quarantine for 14 days.

According to the South China Morning Post, the Heilongjiang province is seemingly taking the toughest stance, announcing that anyone who intentionally spreads the coronavirus to cause public harm could face the death penalty. Courts in different provinces in China are also releasing new guidelines on the use of laws to stop the spread of the virus.

In the northern municipality of Tianjin, a woman was detained on Tuesday after "deliberately concealing" having made contact with someone from an area stricken by the virus. The 36-year-old was taken into custody for "administrative detention," although no more details were given on what she had done, or when she would be released.

Chinese people can do nonsense eh.
Coronavirus started from their diet. The saying :"You're what you eat" never stuck into their brain. The virus was gotten from snakes and frogs they ate. I wonder what they are up to again with $140.
Now, the whole world suffers
