And from this and other articles, it looks like essentials such as water and food are in short supply in these areas on top of it.
This article noted people had to bring in water in wheelbarrows.
How will they get it now?

An older article on France24 stated 3 provinces under quarantine. Not sure if these are same or different areas. And it noted problems with food shortages at that time.
Sounds like it is all getting worse.

The quarantine has meant that traders have been unable to travel to buy food and farmers cannot harvest their crop, which has in turn caused shortages and sent prices soaring, raising fears people could go hungry.
