Coronavirus: What it's like living in quarantine

Outside Source

Available for over a year

Millions of people have been living in quarantine because of the new Covid-19 coronavirus outbreak in China. One of those people is Saskea. She's an English teacher from South Africa who lives in Tianjin, which is a city on the north coast of China. She went on a trip to Shanghai at the end of January and has been in quarantine since she returned home. At first she chose to self-isolate because she was worried about catching the disease. But now there are more strict measures from the government to stay indoors. Saskea told Âé¶¹Éç OS what she's been doing in quarantine. (Photo: Saskea at home in Tianjin. Credit: Saskea Jacobs)
