In a wholesale fruit market in Liaoyuan City, Jilin Province, sales are sluggish as a result of the coronavirus crisis. Vendors have to rent a forklift to dump unsold fruits, while residents under lockdown have no access to meat, eggs, or fruits.

Look, this is the situation in Liaoyuan City’s wholesale fruit market. Large quantities of fruits have to be dumped. These are all pears that cannot be sold. Vendors rented a forklift to load them on a truck to dump them. Find out what the coronavirus epidemic has brought to us. We cannot sell these fruits and have to use a forklift to take them away.

Woman: It’s 12 noon on March 14. There are not many cars on the street. The most annoying news I just heard is although every building in our community has been under lockdown for over 20 days, there are still new infections. I literally had a headache upon hearing the news, and I did not sleep well last night. What shall we do? The whole city of Wuhan reported four new infections today, two of them are from our community. In addition, there are six more suspected coronavirus patients in our community. Tell me, what’s to be done? With the current restrictions, it’s already very difficult for us to go downstairs. I don’t know how much longer we have to stay indoors.
