China is not playing when it comes to containing the Coronavirus this time around.

They are currently in a rush to build a quarantine camp that can house at least 4,000 people. CNN reports that is located on the outskirts of Shijiazhuang.

China managed to contain the virus, but a recent outbreak has concerned officials and pushed them into action. Entire villages are being moved from their homes into quarantine lockdown facilities in order to stop the spread of the virus. These strict measures are being put in place to prevent new outbreaks during February´s Lunar New Year holiday.
