Chinese SWAT team practices takedown of ‘coronavirus patient’ with net

New video shows Chinese SWAT teams prepping to take down uncooperative travelers suspected of having the coronavirus — with a net.

Video posted by Storyful shows Tongbai County authorities practicing drills to stop potentially infected people while stationed at a checkpoint in the Henan province Feb. 21.

In a staged exercise, one of the officers checks a driver’s temperature and orders him to step out of the vehicle.

“Please get out of the vehicle to cooperate with our examination,” the officer said, according to Storyful.

But instead, the driver continues on without stopping.

He is then stopped by a police van and surrounded by officers in protective gear carrying riot shields.

When the driver gets out of the car, officers place a net over his head and tackle him to the ground.

“To win the epidemic defense, Tongyang police had armed exercises,” the police bureau wrote on social media along with the clip.

The virus, known as COVID-19, causes mild symptoms such as fever and coughs in most cases but can also lead to death.

Henan has reported at least 1,271 confirmed diagnoses and 19 deaths since the virus emerged in December.

More than 78,000 cases have gripped the country since the outbreak in the central province of Hubei.
