Shanghai resident Kumi Wu was already recovering from a sore throat when she received the order to quarantine at a makeshift Covid-19 hospital in Shanghai’s Pudong district. The 26-year-old began recording her experience entering a system stretched thin by the city’s ongoing lockdowns amid its worst coronavirus outbreak. It took three days of being confined to chaotic and unsanitary transit centres before she finally was able to reach the quarantine hospital, where she still remains as of April 24, 2022.
