Alarm in China that efforts to control Chikungunya virus are infringing on rights

The article discusses growing concerns in China that efforts to control the spread of the Chikungunya virus, a non-fatal mosquito-borne disease, are infringing on people's rights. A single mother in Zhanjiang, Guangdong province, posted a video showing officials, including a police officer, entering her children's bedroom at night and taking blood samples without her consent or presence. Many view these control measures as reminiscent of the strict monitoring of people's daily lives during the zero-COVID era. The article highlights the alarm among the public that the government's actions to combat the Chikungunya outbreak are overstepping and violating individual rights.
