China’s fear of COVID-19 reached new heights when the city of Shanghai put members of a WeChat group into home quarantine for at least seven days amid a recent COVID-19 outbreak.

The city of 26 million reported 74 locally transmitted COVID-19 cases from July 3 to July 6 that were related to a karaoke bar (karaoke is called KTV in China) in the Putuo District. The disease then spread to seven other KTV venues in five districts, according to the municipal pandemic prevention and control authorities on July 7.
