Anyone who refuses to relocate will be forcibly moved by the police, city government says as number of new cases continues to rise sharply.

Anyone in Wuhan who is suspected of being infected with the new coronavirus or has been in close contact with a confirmed case must relocate to a dedicated quarantine center, local authorities said on Sunday, as the contagion shows no sign of slowing down in the city where it was first detected.

People who had been professionally diagnosed as having a fever and pneumonia symptoms would be transported by specialist vehicle to one of the isolation sites, the city’s emergency headquarters said in a statement.

“Patients shall cooperate,” it said. “Whoever refuses to cooperate will be subject to enforcement by the police.”
