The map shows the town, as you said, beside the main road. It is
possible that they have managed to keep the road open, perhaps using the
triangle just south.

I wonder how successful this isolation will be? Anyway, I wish them
well.

On second thoughts, the quarantined area will of course include not just
the town as marked on the map but some of the surrounding area. I
suppose that through traffic could be permitted so long as it does not
stop.

From memory the main population is to the north of the road. Typical USSR
type of concrete collective housing mostly. The long straight road to the
East is a toll road and rail link built on a large bank, as all land
underneath is pretty much below river level with dykes and ditches running
to the Danube's edge, where the water is pumped out over an earth bunding.
The major problem for these folks could be that a lot will have plots of
land outside of town that will need tending, or be reliant on produce bought
in by relatives that live in the outlying villages.
