In the video, a man and a woman can be seen being dragged away by officials in protective suits. Behind them a man lying on the ground resists being carried away, before he is lifted by authorities and carried down stairs. Jiangsu Communication Broadcasting Station, an official provincial media outlet, on Wednesday published an article with photos of a woman and a man, who appeared to be wearing the same clothes as the people in the video, being questioned by local law enforcement officials in protective suits. The article said the two, both using the family name Dong, had returned to their home in Kunshan, Jiangsu Province, from Hubei Province, of which Wuhan is the capital and the epidemic has been the most severe. According to the article, they travelled despite being required to quarantine themselves at home, and on February 3 they were taken away by local epidemic prevention personnel. Provinces and cities across China are requiring anybody who comes from Hubei province to self-quarantine for 14 days. Experts believe that's how long it could take for symptoms to appear.
