Shanghai to blacklist individuals for concealing symptoms, violating quarantine

Shanghai starting from Friday will put individuals on a credit blacklist for concealing symptoms and violating quarantine, according to the municipal legislature.

The Standing Committee of the Shanghai Municipal People's Congress on Friday voted through a decision on curbing the spread of the virus, which took effect immediately.

Those who violate quarantine or conceal coronavirus symptoms, a travel history in key virus-hit regions or a history of contact with confirmed and suspected patients will not only be subject to legal liabilities in accordance with the law but be blacklisted on Shanghai's credit information platform.
