The coronavirus outbreak in China offers unprecedented glimpses into how an extensive system of surveillance cameras works by catecadell

BEIJING - The coronavirus outbreak in China has given unprecedented glimpses into how an extensive system of surveillance cameras works, as monitoring stations are rebranded epidemic “war rooms” helping to check people’s movements and stifle the disease.

This year, cities and villages across the country have used the system for what the government has labelled “an all-out people’s war on coronavirus”. “This is a war situation,” said a civil servant surnamed Wang in Tianjin city, who was involved in tracing thousands of people linked to a coronavirus cluster at a department store.Despite the hi-tech ambitions of the system, it is heavily dependent on a lot of people watching footage on screens.

In Donghan village in Hubei, the province where the coronavirus emerged late last year, grid member Liu Ganhe saw six villagers gathering without masks, so he called the authorities. In Xiangtan, another Hunan city, the system was used to locate a man found with a high temperature at a shopping centre who slipped away on a motor bike, state media reported.State media has published pictures of officials watching multiple screens in police stations. Others show volunteer staff scouring footage and sharing clips on messaging apps.While the surveillance may be rudimentary in places, public knowledge of the system likely helps with enforcement.
