Local governments in China are looking for new uses for the makeshift quarantine facilities built during the pandemic, after years of strict Covid Zero rules left many authorities strapped for cash.
In the northeastern coastal province of Shandong, a facility measuring 20,563 square meters has been turned into temporary housing for workers, called the “Skilled Talents’ Condominium.” Located in the Jinan Innovation Zone Intelligent Equipment City, one of 10 high-tech industrial parks in the provincial capital Jinan, the complex opened its doors on Jan. 26, according to an announcement last week from the WeChat account of the park.
