Shanghai: Shanghai authorities have installed fences to restrict the population's movement as a measure to check growing COVID-19 situation in the Chinese city.
Green barriers have appeared without warning outside buildings where those inside are forbidden from leaving, reports BBC.

One resident told the BBC a green fence appeared inside his locked-up compound three days ago without any explanation.
Shanghai has been witnessing weeks of lockdown amid COVID-19 surge.
Many of the fences, which are around two-metres tall, were installed around buildings designated as "sealed areas" where at least one person has tested positive for Covid-19, reports BBC.
