Wuhan in Central China’s Hubei province is on lockdown. Since January 23, the home to over 11 million people has been quarantined due to the outbreak of the contagious and potentially fatal Coronavirus.

The disease, which is believed to have originated in Wuhan, has spread to countries worldwide and killed at least 132 people.

As the government scrambles to end the Corona outbreak – those in Wuhan – and fifteen other Chinese cities under quarantine – are asking: Are we safe? And is there hope this crisis will end anytime soon?

To talk about life under quarantine, we’re joined by Zhao Yunfei. He’s a CGTN correspondent who’s been inside Wuhan since the outbreak began.
