In the case of my compound, we always know who the positives are.
1. Their specific buildings get sealed
2. They are mentioned in our WeChat groups. I wouldn't call these "official", but the community leader (who works for the government) is a member
Social pressure in the Confucian sense (e.g. focus on the community) is a major part of the equation. This is why public shaming comes into play.
We haven't had any positives since the end of the big lockdown in my compound. Other places have, but the new lockdowns have been quite short in cases that I'm aware of.
That having been said, the current Sanya situation doesn't seem pleasant, based on what I've read thus far. Most of the 80,000 people locked down there don't live in Sanya, so they are stuck in hotel rooms. Apparently, their room rates were slashed by 50% per government order.
