With the Chinese New Year holidays just around the corner, villages across China have launched a loudspeaker campaign to ensure the anti-COVID-19 message is heard loud and clear -- celebrate holidays in your working city and pay attention to individual protection from the virus.

Also, long alert banners were hung on walls, excavators and metal gates were set up to examine vehicles and visitors…Chinese villages are fighting the novel coronavirus in its own way as virus resurgence occurs in multiple Chinese cities. 

Loudspeakers blaring out essential knowledge about epidemic control and prevention are being heard all over the nation. Some hang on the tops of tall poles in central village areas.

They all come with the classic opening lines: "May I have your attention, fellow villagers."

And they continue like this:

"Do not push your children to get married, to bear babies, or to run back home to celebrate the Chinese New Year.

"If you want to stay healthy, do not travel around.

"You should keep your masks on, and pay attention to the one-meter social distancing rule.

"Parties and gatherings in any forms, banquets in restaurants should be cancelled. Funerals should be streamlined and weddings should be postponed."

Red banners carrying the same message are also seen.

Local villagers have raised their awareness of epidemic control. 

Chinese health authorities released on Wednesday another strict guideline, especially for people returning to their hometowns in rural areas during the upcoming Spring Festival holidays, stipulating tough measures including a 14-day health monitoring period at home after arrival.

Many observers speculated that the highly complex and strict procedures listed in the guideline could dissuade many from returning to rural areas.
