Increasingly extreme measures taken in Wuhan

The Chinese authorities have resorted to increasingly extreme measures in the central city of Wuhan to try to halt the spread of the deadly coronavirus, ordering house-to-house searches, rounding up the sick and housing them in enormous quarantine centres.

The city has already been basically shut down and isolated because of the contagion that began more than a month ago. The new measures came two weeks after China barred people from leaving Wuhan...It then expanded the restriction to other cities in Hubei province and now confines more than 50 million people - a containment of nearly unimaginable scope.

Qns:
1. To what extent should the government interfere in the rights/freedom of its people?
2. How far should a state have a right to monitor the actions of people within its borders? (Cam. 2007)
