The COVID-19 scare continues to burgeon in China as new cases are being discovered by the minute.
The deadly virus was first discovered in 2019 in Wuhan and instantly embroiled the world that hindered the lives, as they were live pre-pandemic. While social distancing might have worked out for the rest of the world, this has taken a turn for the worst in China and it has gone a little too extreme.
A video has now gone viral that featured what is being deemed as an “Epidemic prevention revolution." In the clip, a person can be seen being lifted through a crane, which is a new extreme of social distancing.
“A positive patient was hoisted out of the community by a crane because they dared not go in and pick them up, and they didn’t want the patient’s bacteria to stay on the floor, which could ensure the smallest contact area," read the caption of the video.
The chilling video comes as Chinese President Xi Jinping has already declared his Zero Covid Policy. As per the strict policy, lockdowns are imposed in cities if Covid infections are found.

中国式现代化。【方老师，投稿一个防疫大革命的荒谬视频。一个阳性患者被吊机吊出小区，因为他们不敢进去接，也不想患者的细菌留在地板上，这样能保证最小的接触面积。】 pic.twitter.com/2BM3Afm3V6
