Editor’s Note: Woman from Wuhan went to Hong Kong before Hubei people are prohibited from entry. The congee restaurant is located in Shatin.

Arrived HK before customs was closed.
Had my favourite chicken congee.
Fellows, remember to have large amount of antipyretic before going through customs.
Otherwise, you are not allowed to pass through customs if fever is detected.

I also have fever now and will go to hospital immediately after finishing chicken congee.

More than 5 million people had left Wuhan, China because of Lunar New Year

With the outbreak of Wuhan novel coronavirus for almost a-month time, the epidemic in Wuhan was still beyond control. In the “Hubei novel coronavirus epidemic prevention and control work press conference” held on 26 Jan, Zhou Xianwang, Wuhan mayor, said more than 5 million people had left Wuhan because of Lunar New Year and influence of the epidemic , while 9 million of the population remained in the city. Zhou also said that currently there were 2,209 suspected cases which were receiving treatments in the hospitals, and 643 outpatients had fever and were monitored. Zhou estimated the number of people who required medical treatments and monitoring could increase by another 1,000 cases in the future.

As of early morning of Jan 26, Wuhan has accumulated 618 infections. Among which, 45 people died, 87 people are in serious condition, 53 people are in critical condition and only 40 of them are discharged. All patients are isolated at designated hospitals for treatments.

Zhou says the authorities have requisitioned 24 hospitals and 10,000 beds to provide treatments to patients with fever, and is extending the requisition. Meanwhile, the government is also building “Huoshenshan Hospital” and “Leishenshan Hospital” which could provide 700 to 1,000 beds and 1,300 beds respectively.

Wang Xiaodong, Governor of Hubei Province, says the epidemic has made the Central Committee of the Communist Party and the whole country heart-wrenching, and he feels extremely distressed, guilty and self-condemned for that.

In early morning on 23 Jan, the Wuhan authorities announced that, all city transports, including buses and underground railways, would be suspended starting from 10 in the morning, and airport and train stations would also be closed until further notice. The authorities had asked the citizens not to leave Wuhan unless they had special reasons. Immediately after the notice was released, a flock of citizens tried to leave Wuhan and fled for other cities and countries.
