About 3,000 quarantine rooms are being built in Shijiazhuang's Zhengding county in Hebei province, as the province has seen a recent increase in coronavirus infections.

The facility is located about 30 kilometers southwest of Xiaoguozhuang village in the city's Gaocheng district, which was hit hardest by the recent upswing.

Each of the rooms will be about 18 square meters and equipped with showers.

Construction started on Wednesday and is expected to be finished on Friday.
