I live in Guangzhou and the city is under quarantine now (started Friday afternoon) and no idea when they will change that.
There are 16 cities under Marshal law. All of China is on an "extended holiday". The outbreak started in 武汉 WuHan which is the center of china. It is 6 hours from 北京 BeiJing, 6 hours from 上海 ShangHai and 6 hours from 广州 Gaungzhou. The virus started to spread right before the Chinese holiday began. Not only that, but there during that time, more than 5 million 武汉人 people form WuHan left 武汉 WuHan. Maybe they left China for Business or vacation, or maybe they started to travel to other provinces throughout China for the Holiday, but they left.
In 广州 GuangZhou, virtually everything is shutdown, with the exception of a few grocery stores. All the school officially now have no set date when they will resume.
Every 小区 like apartment complex type of thingy (not sure how to translate 小区 has guards 保安 that will take your temperature and spray your hands with disinfectant spray. Any type of church，party, business or social gatherings are all banned, any type of nice restaurant, movie theater, coffee shops, malls, are no longer allowed to gather because of potential virus spreading.
Basically its a hardcore ghost town here and has been for works. On the bright side, me and my friends can freely skate down the streets, hahahaha. The only cars I ever see are ambulances (every single day) and an occasional bus or car.
