As the deadly coronavirus virus continues infecting people, China has made the unprecedented move of locking down cities. So how can it be done?

Mr Kamradt-Scott said three days would probably be the limit for most people's tolerance of these kind of shutdowns."How that is mitigated and managed by the Chinese authorities will be critical in ensuring ongoing compliance and avoiding unrest."

For example, Shanghai's Disneyland — which accommodates tens of thousands of visitors per day — has been closed during what will be a massive peak holiday and tourism period.Mr Kamradt-Scott said the objective of the quarantine was to slow down the spread of the virus, even if you can't stop it completely.

The WHO has stopped short of naming the outbreak a global emergency for now, but that by no means indicates that one isn't on the horizon.

"There's been an effort obviously to quarantine the greater Wuhan area so that the authorities can slow down the spread of the virus and prevent it spreading all throughout the country with the celebrations, but that may be already too late, we just have to wait and see," he said.Australia has a few measures and processes working in its favour that many other countries do not.

China builds 10-day hospital for virusChina is swiftly building a hospital dedicated to treating patients infected with a new virus that has killed 26 people, sickened hundreds and prompted unprecedented lockdowns of cities home to millions of people during the country’s most important holiday. Referring to it as a ‘hospital’ might be a stretch Building a hospital in ten days, now what could possibly go wrong. Maybe not a 'proper' hospital but a 'field hospital' That’s a worry.
