A video circulating on social media shows people who had refused to self-quarantine being forcibly taken away from an apartment by local officials in the city of Kunshan, as China battles the outbreak of a deadly new virus. In the video, a man and a woman can be seen being dragged away by officials in protective suits. Behind them a man lying on the ground resists being carried away, before he is lifted by authorities and carried down stairs. Jiangsu Communication Broadcasting Station, an official provincial media outlet, on Wednesday published an article with photos of a woman and a man, who appeared to be wearing the same clothes as the people in the video, being questioned by local law enforcement officials in protective suits.
