Guangzhou quarantine facilities almost ready for operation

The plank houses are just part of a large quarantine base, which is mainly used for isolation of people being transferred from high-risk areas.

The base, with a construction area of about 80,000 square meters, will provide about 63,000 beds in total, according to sources with the company.

"Houses were built well in accordance with high construction standards within a very short time," said Zeng Jiaming, a project manager with the China Construction Third Engineering Bureau Group.
