I know this thread was intended for tip on quarantining when entering China from abroad, but now that there are widespread quarantines / "lockdowns" in Shanghai and other cities I thought we could share tips about those as well.

So far I've noticed different types of lockdowns:

• you can't leave your apartment
• can go outside to take out the trash
• you can wander freely within your compound, using the facilities (if any)

I've noticed (at least in Shanghai) that big compounds have strict in/out restrictions, but can usually let you roam freely within. Because of staff shortages, smaller apartments or buildings can't control you that well. Some lane houses set up a gate at one end, but leave the other end open. Deliveries are usually available, but vegetables are getting expensive. Just today, we delivered vegetables to a friend in Pudong who wasn't able to readily order and receive them.

Please share lockdown / quarantine tips (without endangering or incriminating yourself) here.
