Chinese officials are only letting people leave their homes every 2 days and have forbidden weddings and funerals




In an effort to control the coronavirus, officials in the Chinese province of Zhejiang are enforcing restrictions that are almost draconian.

In the cities of Wenzhou, Hangzhou, Ningbo, and Taizhou, weddings and funerals are frowned upon and "unessential" public venues are closed — with only markets and pharmacies allowed to stay open.

Each househld is given a so-called passport, allowing them to leave their homes for necessities once every two days.

"This could reduce the transmission to the greatest extent possible," Wenzhou Mayor Yao Gaoyuan said.
