26-year-old Rourou normally works as a teacher at an art school in Shanghai, but since the outbreak of the corona virus is nothing like it. She spends time with her parents, who also live in Wuhan, who have also had an ingrained and trapped life because of the infection risks.

- Social media couldn't alleviate my concerns about the disease, but I found a solution. I switched off and started exercising, and then my sleep problems were alleviated.

Zeng Rourou testifies that there are two ways to get food to the isolated home.

- There are two ways: One is to order online and have it delivered by courier. The second is that the property manager makes a joint order which is then distributed to us. Through these two channels we get food.

The first case of the coronavirus covid-19 was reported in Wuhan on December 31, 2019. The virus has been found to be more contagious than similar infections like sars, which between 2003 and 2004 caused 8,000 disease cases and 700 deaths.

On January 30, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced a global emergency due to the virus. In Sweden, the virus is classified as a socially dangerous disease.

At the time of writing, only one confirmed case was discovered in Sweden. A person in Jönköping who got sick after coming home from just Wuhan in China.
