Residents expect tougher measures soon.

Shoppers wearing face masks pay for their groceries at a supermarket in Wuhan.

More than 10 cities in Hubei province have already been shut down, and local residents in neighbouring Hunan – the home province of Mao Zedong – said they were resigned to the possibility that they would also be sealed off in the next few days. One pharmacy nearby had almost sold out, with the shop assistant saying they only had one “cheaper, less effective” mask left.

But local authorities in Hubei and neighbouring Hunan do not yet appear to have developed a properly coordinated response to the crisis, with most cities choosing to try to seal their borders at all costs.
