"The technology we use today in epidemic control was hard to imagine in the past," said Yang Fei, vice chief in Fuhe town, Suizhou city of Central China's Hubei Province.

The city is implementing virus prevention through digital means. "The calculation work used to take a week to complete, but now it can be done within two days," Yang said.

Suizhou is 170 kilometers from Wuhan, the epicenter of the novel coronavirus. More than 1,200 people have been confirmed with COVID-19 in Suizhou as of press time.

In just two days, 2.2 million citizens in Suizhou have registered their health condition. All they need to do is click on their phones and upload their information.

Suizhou and Alibaba have been working together to develop a "digital prevention system," which is realized through apps such as DingTalk or Alipay. People can sign up with their health conditions, report about possible infections, submit online inquiries and follow epidemic news.

The new registration method not only shortened the process, but reduced the possibility of government employees getting infected.

"Smart cities" is an oxymoron for a totally controlled population, i. e. enslaved.
