In a post that’s going viral on Chinese internet platforms, the woman in the video is bleeding. She was eight months pregnant and suffering apparent complications. But the hospital refused to treat her due to local lockdown restrictions.

She lives in a city in central China called Xi’an. Officials there have put the city’s 13 million residents under strict lockdown—and most hospitals there are shut down.
