Chinese people have been naming and shaming their compatriots online for refusing to follow self-isolation or quarantine rules during the Covid-19 outbreak.

The naming and shaming has so far netted several victims, including an Chinese-Australian woman who was ordered to leave the country by the Beijing city authorities for going out for a run while under quarantine.
