Chinese citizens punished for playing mahjong by being forced to carry table to police station amid coronavirus lockdown

Four citizens in southern China were punished for playing mahjong in the city's coronavirus lockdown and forced to carry the table to the police station.

In the video, shot in the city of Chongqing on February 17, four people can be seen carrying a table together while walking to the station.

According to local authorities, the four people were caught playing mahjong together despite the coronavirus lockdown.

Since they breached the Public Security Administration Regulation, police could have detained them for five days and fined them.

But police considered that they were all first offenders, they were only asked to move the mahjong table from their place to the police station and cannot take it back until the COVID-19 outbreak finishes.
