Coronavirus epidemic: Wuhan residents ordered to remain indoors

One month after Wuhan sealed off its borders. The city’s millions of residents have been ordered to stay indoors.

It has been nearly four weeks since Hubei province, the epicentre of the coronavirus outbreak, sealed its borders.

Stricter measures have now been imposed by the Chinese government, which is determined to control the crisis that has brought the country to a standstill.

Millions have been forbidden to leave their homes – a food and supply pick-up has become many residents’ only outing for the day.
