The hotels I stayed the previously have all changed policy not accepting +7 stay.

My money is on the +7 being changed to either a strict community monitoring in your own apartment or just an extra week at the quarantine hotel if you don't have a place in Shanghai.

Just checked with the hotel I stayed at back in November 2021, and they're now booked out until March.
Had friend call, and this hotel is okay to book RIGHT NOW (see *):
****HOTEL INFO SENT VIA PM***
NOTE *:
IIRC, your last day of quarantine is going to be EXACTLY on CNY and all hotels will be booked out!!!
Also: it's NOT the same as before; you are now required to STAY IN YOUR ROOM the whole time, but can order food from outside. NO HOTEL RESTAURANT visits are allowed, no going outside.
Hope you see this SOON, as this availability might be gone even as fast as later on today.....

I am totally lost here by China's 14+7 policy.
1) If there is a possibility to infect others after 14 day quarantine, why allow you to move to another hotel? Or. why even allow you to return to your hometown with exposure to the public (by train, plane etc)?
2) So the only sensible thing to do is to put you in quarantine hotel for 21 days. But here is my issue. Almost all COVID infections show symptoms after 4-5 days. Very, very rare case it exceeds 14 days. I feel that recent positive case in Shanghai got infected in quarantine. Not in USA.
Only in China you hear cases after 14, 21 or even 35 days........ Chinese officials and Chinese people want to blame someone. This is beyond absurd.
