Israel’s Consul-General in Shanghai, Eddie Shapira, said that “nothing could have prepared” him for a 10-day sojourn at a Chinese medical holding facility, where he was held because he caught a mild case of COVID-19, describing it as a “prison,” He wrote in a Facebook post over the weekend.
“I caught COVID-19 and did not have strong symptoms at all,” Shapira wrote, adding that it was “the 10 most bizarre days that I could imagine.”
“Nothing could have prepared me for the experience,” he said.
“I found myself in a room between two hallways, a kind of aquarium, two single beds, two automatic doors that open by remote control and a tiny envelope opening for a tray of ‘food,'” he wrote. “The days pass hoping for two negative results, with 24 hours between them.”
“It’s not recommended for claustrophobics, or anyone,” Shapira wrote.
