"Everything started here during the Chinese New Year last weekend," he explains, while the nCov coronavirus is prevalent mainly in mainland China and the Wuhan region.

Ten cases were identified in Hong Kong, which was enough to cause panic. "Schools are closed, companies are slowing down and many are teleworking," he adds. “I have never seen the city so empty.

People outside the statistics: They died of "general pneumonia"?

Wen | "Finance" reporter Fang Gongyi Liu Li Shiyun Liu Yi Qin Xinna intern Ma Kexin Edit | Song Wei

February 01, 2020 22:09

"Finance" interviewed more than 10 families of patients, most of them infected. They also support the elderly and pregnant women in various hospitals. Their families are on the front line of life and death.

On January 26, 2020, the Liu Mei family received a cremation note. Her mother-in-law, a 73-year-old man, died of breathing at home and was rushed to the hospital.

Liu Mei told the Caijing reporter that the elderly had symptoms of suspected new type of coronavirus pneumonia on January 21, and the diagnosis results showed that the lung was highly infected in the fourth hospital of Wuhan. However, the old man has not been admitted to several hospitals, and can only isolate himself at home until his illness.

After the old man was taken to the ambulance, the family never saw her again. All they received was a cremation note, indicating that the cause of the death of the elderly was: viral pneumonia. However, according to family members, the death of the elderly was not included in the number of confirmed deaths from new coronary pneumonia-because she did not qualify for hospitalization and was not diagnosed with new coronary pneumonia until her death. "The unfortunate one who died.

The old man hastily passed away, no decent packing, no farewell by his family, and the ashes are still in the funeral parlour.

Liu Mei's loved ones who died without treatment were not alone. "Finance" reporters have learned from various investigations that although the number of hotspots sent by major hospitals in Wuhan has declined compared to the time when the city was closed on January 23, the designated hospitals have also opened to the third batch, but it is difficult to get a bed. The situation requested has not been completely alleviated. At the same time as the number of confirmed and suspected cases has risen, there are still many people outside the epidemic statistics.

A department director of a designated hospital told the Caijing reporter that there were about 120 fever patients a day in the outpatient clinic of these two days, about 80 of whom had lung infections, but only 5 of them might eventually be admitted to the hospital.

"We can only let the remaining 75 patients who can't get in and go home. The patients can't do it, neither can we." The director told the Caijing reporter.

The director said that, in general, two-slice lung CT showed ground-glass lesions, which were basically considered suspicious, but only patients admitted to the hospital could be counted as suspected and qualified for nucleic acid test strips. At least 80% of the patients who have completed the nucleic acid test strip can be diagnosed and then transferred to other designated hospitals.

Caijing understands that at least five suspected deaths at the hospital have not been diagnosed, so it does not count towards the confirmed deaths. This means that the number of confirmed and fatal cases that people can see at present does not fully reflect the full picture of the epidemic.

From the current survey, there are two main ways patients can be admitted. The first is to queue up by the community: after the implementation of the Wuhan community shunting policy on January 24, patients need to be admitted to the hospital with a hospitalization ticket-patients first go to the community to submit CT and blood routine reports, the community reports to the street, and then according to the priority of the new hospital Bed; Second, go to the designated hospital with nucleic acid test strips, get the results 48 hours, after the diagnosis can not be rejected by the hospital.

It is not easy to follow these two paths, and each one may be endless waiting. But for the severely ill, every minute can be a torment of life and death.

"Finance" recently interviewed more than 10 families of patients, most families infected with the whole family, they also help the elderly, pregnant women in various hospitals. "The hospital told us that we can only save ourselves." Several families of patients told the Caijing reporter that their families were on the front line of life and death.

As of 24:00 on January 31, 2020, Hubei Province has reported 7,153 cases of pneumonia caused by new coronavirus infection. Among them, 3,215 cases were in Wuhan.

There is a saying on the Twitter page of the WHO: Remember, these are not numbers, but real people. Unfortunately, there are still some people who are not included, and their life and death stories are outside the statistics.

Difficult survival
"Father kept saying that he did not die on the battlefield 70 years ago, but he may have died now that the deployment of medical resources is out of control."

"The doctor made it clear that his father was a new type of coronavirus, but the diagnosis could not be confirmed because there was no test box." Sun Chen told the Caijing reporter.

Sun Chen said that on January 26, his father who was isolated at home suddenly coughed up blood. Sun Chen hurriedly sent her father to Tongji Hospital of Huazhong University of Science and Technology for examination. The examination results showed that the lungs were severely infected. However, the CT scan did not allow the father to be admitted to the hospital because there was no complete confirmation process.

The hospital asked Sun Chen's father to be isolated and take medicine at home, but Sun Chen realized, "The examples around me are very serious. I must send my father to an isolation bed."

What does a bed mean? Because there was no bed, Li Kaimeng, who lived in Hanyang, watched his father breathe hard for one night at home, and eventually took a breath. His father was a soldier-turned cadre during his lifetime, the pillar of his family. After the unfortunate death of his father, the car at the funeral home arrived more than ten hours later. They were also very busy and had to pull several times in one trip.

The grandmother of the railway employee Chen Li, who lives in Wuhan, also sat in the outpatient hall of Hankou Hospital for three days because she had no hospital bed, but she did not hold back, and the rescue died. Grandma also did not go through the diagnosis process and was not included in the statistics.

A doctor at a designated hospital told reporters that there is no specific medicine for new crown pneumonia. For moderate and mild patients, the treatment of outpatient and inpatient treatment will not be much worse. But for critically ill patients there is a big difference. For those patients who have been isolated at home but have difficulty supporting themselves, going to the hospital is their last hope.

"The doctor advised my dad and I to find a way to go to the hospital, especially my dad can't drag it on, it may be life-threatening at any time." From January 27, Du Hongli's father began to have trouble eating and speaking.

The examination results of Wuhan Liyuan Hospital showed that Du Hongli's father had severe ground-glass lesions in his lungs, obvious lung spots, and blood oxygen levels of only 90, indicating that the patient had severe hypoxia symptoms.

Du Hongli took his father and tried all the methods. On January 27, he went to the community to register and there was no news. He himself had a lung infection and had a low fever. He borrowed a van from a friend and propped his father around to find a hospital for treatment.

Wuhan 672 Hospital, which has more than 300 beds, will not be admitted without a hospitalization sheet; the newly opened Hanyang Branch of Wuhan Xiehe Hospital, which has 700 beds, also told him to wait.

On January 28, Du Hongli rushed to the letter and visits office of the district government and got no answer. He asked the health and health committee and the other party replied that there was no solution and he could only wait. Because there is no way to coordinate patients across regions, they can only wait for admission to the corresponding hospital in the region.

Du Hongli's father had served in the army for 15 years, had been on the battlefield against the United States and aided the DPRK, and had been a close guard of two senior generals. Du Hongli told the Caijing reporter that the whole family is now infected and his symptoms of dizziness and chest tightness are getting worse and worse. I don't know how long he can carry his father.



(Du Hongli's father had joined the army for 15 years and went to the battlefield against the US and aided the DPRK)
His father kept telling him that he hadn't died on the battlefield decades ago, but could have died now that medical resources are out of control. "Every day I see a car in front of the hospital, except for the 120, which is the funeral car. There is only hopelessness and helplessness."

My father was inconvenient to move. Du Hongli took his father to give an injection in the outpatient clinic of Hanyang Branch of Xiehe Hospital and slept in the hotel next to the hospital. Or I went to Wuhan Tongji Hospital and Xiehe Hospital to get the test strips in the morning, but the daily limit of 100 Xiehe test strips is often gone. Until the press release, Du Hongli's father was not able to go to the hospital because he still had no chance to go through the complete diagnosis process.

Wuhan citizen Ms. Wang told the Caijing reporter that her mother had been shocked at home twice. My mother has been in the community for injections and medicine since the beginning of the year. On January 23, the mother felt unusually uncomfortable, so she went to Hankou Hospital by bicycle with her father, and queued for 12 hours before completing the CT. The results showed that her lungs were infected.

Ms. Wang said that at the time the hospital had no drip to fight, and even the oseltamivir drug, which was used to fight the flu, was not enough, and she could only give her mother a dose of medicine. After that, the mother could only go home and isolate herself and live on the oxygen machine at home. "Once my mother was in shock, my dad cried while hugging my mother, thinking she was gone."

Previously, the two elderly people "would never have trouble for others to solve the problem by themselves", but two consecutive syncopes forced them to call their daughter.

But at this time, Ms. Wang and her husband were also infected. She had to take care of her husband who had a high fever. Her lungs also showed ground glass symptoms. Ms. Wang dialed 120 for her parents, but there were nearly 500 people in line. "At that time, 120 said that the people who had hit the previous two days had not been sent to the hospital, and there was no hope."

After three or four in the afternoon, the two old men were exhausted, but still struggled to ride a bicycle to the hospital.

Ms. Wang continued to call the mayor's hotline. On the second day, the Mayor's hotline reported: "You need to report to your community, the community will report to the street, and the street will report to the headquarters. If there are beds, the headquarters will inform the hospital to arrange and then arrange you to go."

Professor Yao Lan, deputy director of the China Basic Medical Security Research Center of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, told a reporter from Caijing that giving full play to the role of the primary health care system and implementing true hierarchical diagnosis and treatment is an effective measure to avoid crowding hospitals and preventing cross infection.

But for the severely ill, every minute is the torment of life and death. They don't know how long it takes for the community to report and wait. "From the beginning to the end of the community, we all reported it. They all said that there was no way, just to reflect, but when is it the head?" Ms. Wang said.

In the meantime, they tried all the telephones and relationships that they could find. Ms. Wang even called 110. Finally, 110 gave her a landline, and the other party said that she had to contact the community.

On January 29, Ms. Wang felt that her parents couldn't support it anymore. Ms. Wang had to ask for help again 120. 120 made it clear that only by contacting the hospital bed can she send a car over.

Ms. Wang remembered what she saw on the Internet that Huazhong University of Science and Technology added 600 beds to the Western Union District, so she persuaded 120 to take her parents to the Western Union College. It was 9 o'clock in the evening at the hospital, and 120 first-aid personnel said, "(the hospital) is very crowded, and there are many people lying outside the emergency room, and there is no first-aid equipment, so you may not be able to wait in line."

Regarding the more than 700 beds, it is said that because the doctor's protective clothing is not enough, all of them cannot be opened for the time being. "Because once the doctors are opened, they can get infected without equipment.

120 emergency staff asked Ms. Wang to quickly choose the second hospital. She begged the ambulance to pull her parents to Wuchang Hospital. She also took the quilt and hand warmer to the hospital. Ms. Wang met her parents for the first time since January 20.


(On January 31, in Wuhan Wuchang Hospital, fever patients were in line for infusion)
Their faces were pale, their father had a high fever of over 39 degrees, and they were standing still. Their mother was lying in the ambulance and taking oxygen. There are no beds and the hospital will not accept them. 120 people were urging beside, and they had spent three hours with the family.

At this time, her mother made a decision. She folded her hands and said to the emergency personnel, "I will die at home too. I no longer go out. There is no hope. Please take me back." 120 Let Ms. Wang finish signing and take her mother again. Get in the car and close the door.

Watching the ambulance leaving, Ms. Wang couldn't help it anymore. She crouched down and sat on the quilt and wept.

Long admission process
A doctor at a designated hospital in Wuhan said that the hospital admitted 600 critically ill patients, but none were confirmed. "The test strip is lacking, but we don't understand why it is lacking."

"Finance" reporter learned that there are currently only two ways to be admitted to hospital. The first is to queue up in the community. Patients first go to the community to submit lung CT and blood routine reports, the community reports the street, and then according to the priority of the newly opened hospital beds, patients need to be admitted to the hospital;

The second is to go to a designated hospital with nucleic acid test strips and get results within 48 hours. After the diagnosis is made, the hospital cannot be rejected.



(The current status of major designated hospitals in Wuhan. Information has been repeatedly checked by reporters and volunteers of Caijing.)
On January 24, Wuhan New Crown Virus Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters issued the No. 7 circular requirement, and residents with fever should be classified and screened. The community is the pressure valve for this outbreak. Wuhan stipulates that individuals with fever must be collected from the community grid members, reported to the community neighborhood committee, and then reported to the community health service center, and then the minors go to their own home or observe at home, while the severely ill ambulances pick up and go to the designated hot spots.

As a social worker in a community in Wuhan Huaqiao Street, Wang Mu has been spinning for 8 days since New Year's Eve. They track the condition of feverish residents every day. Before 4 o'clock, Wang Mu needs to report the list of fever patients in the community, one of which is a list of severe fever patients. This list will be uploaded to the street and the area. After the evaluation, the community will be notified, "Which patient, when, and which hospital can I go to for treatment".

According to Caijing, the community reporting standards obtained by front-line reporters in Wuhan are as follows:

The criteria for fever personnel are: 1. fever above 37.5 degrees; 2. cough; 3. fatigue.

The criteria for suspected persons are: 1. CT examination results are ground-glass-like changes in the lungs; 2. routine blood tests for abnormal white blood cells; 3. criteria for personnel with fever.

Criteria for severe patients are: 1. decreased blood oxygen saturation; 2. dyspnea; 3. basic diseases; 4. older and weaker people; 5. fever and suspected personnel standards.

In fact, many family members of patients told the Caijing reporter that even if the community and hospitals advise patients to be hospitalized immediately, there is no guarantee that there will be beds available.

The requirements of infectious diseases for isolation have made medical resources unprecedentedly tight. In the past, hospitals with thousands of beds had only one-third or less of the original beds after setting up isolated single rooms.

A doctor at a designated hospital in Wuhan told a reporter from Caijing that there were a large number of cases in which the designated hospital was waiting in line with a hospital bill, but could not move in due to tight beds.

The person in charge of the community where Wang Mu is located told the Caijing reporter that in just one day on the 30th, he had more than 100 call records. On the other side of the phone, there will be sudden crying or shouting, "I can only comfort them as much as possible. I feel better every day, my immunity will improve, and my body will be better," said the person in charge.

The other path to hospitalization—the path for patients to go to designated hospitals to line up for a diagnosis is also quite long.

Liu Mei said that after the death of her mother-in-law, her eldest brother, second brother and her husband were also infected, and her condition became worse, and she was in urgent need of hospitalization. They went to Tongji Hospital on February 1 to queue for nucleic acid test strips and were told that there were only 10 copies a day.

As of press time, a total of 10 institutions in Wuhan can perform pathogenic nucleic acid detection, namely: Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, Wuhan Pulmonary Hospital, Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Union Hospital Affiliated to Huazhong University of Science and Technology, People's Hospital of Hubei Province, Wuhan University South Hospital, Wuhan First Hospital, Wuhan Central Hospital, Wuhan Third Hospital, and Wuhan Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

A doctor at a designated hospital in Wuhan told the Caijing reporter that the hospital admitted 600 critically ill patients, but none were diagnosed. "The test strip is lacking, but we don't understand why it is lacking."

What kind of patients can use nucleic acid test strips? The doctor of Wuhan Third Hospital said that after the hospital's inspection, if the doctor thinks that hospitalization is needed, the patient can be hospitalized and tested for nucleic acid.

An employee of Zhongnan Hospital said: "Applying for a nucleic acid test can only allow doctors to open a suspected case report card, but only in urgent cases will this form be filled out."

But what is considered "emergency", the reporter from Caijing asked a lot of questions and did not get an accurate answer.

Many patients and doctors are confused: 1. Wuhan Health and Health Commission claimed on the 27th that in principle, nearly 2,000 samples can be detected every day, but why is there always a lack of nucleic acid test strips? 2. The diagnosis report cannot be issued immediately after the test.

According to the doctor of the First Hospital, the test takes one day. "I did it today, and I can know an approximate result tomorrow." Admission.

When a reporter asked which institutions could produce a confirmed report, the doctor said: "I don't know this either, maybe Tongji and Xiehe can. The patient's condition is getting worse and worse, because there is no bed for this diagnosis report."

For the statistics of suspected patients, doctors' judgment criteria are "low fever, cough, and CT results of lungs." The doctor at the designated hospital said that he would report it to the department, but he did not understand the statistical process later. The director of another designated hospital told the Caijing reporter that severely ill patients who had been admitted to the hospital could be considered suspicious and needed further diagnosis.

On January 30, a designated hospital in Wuhan began to report the number of suspected patients who needed to be diagnosed and tested, from the department, to the hospital, to the district, and then to the city. A doctor at the hospital said that if he died without a confirmed diagnosis, it would not be counted as the number of confirmed deaths, but only as "pulmonary deaths."

"As far as my own department is concerned, the mortality rate is much higher than the discharge rate. At the same time, many cured cases are not considered true cures and require long-term observation," said the doctor.

This also means that a large number of patients can only survive on their own in addition to the diagnosis process and statistics.

Citizen Li Li told the Caijing reporter that after contacting community members, her father was finally admitted to Wuhan Eighth Hospital. But the eighth hospital is not a designated hospital, it was a specialized anorectal hospital before.

The hospital diagnosed that his father's lungs were infected and necrotic, and oxygen had reached the maximum limit. He needed to be transferred to the designated hospital as soon as possible, but because the eighth hospital did not have a test box, the patient had been unable to confirm the diagnosis, and the diagnosis could not be transferred.

"The eighth hospital has been reporting for many days without any response," said Li Li. She dialed 120, and the response was that she could only be transferred to the designated hospital through the community report, but the previous eighth hospital was the community Just arrange to live on.

What happened to Li Li's father seemed to constitute a painless cycle of no solution.

As of press time, the reporters have called the designated hospitals in Wuhan one by one. The seven hospitals connected said that they had "no beds" for the time being.

Who can live in?
"If possible, centrally isolate and treat patients with mild illness so that the epidemic can be controlled more effectively."

In the eyes of countless family members of patients, Wuhan's rapid construction of Vulcan Mountain and Raytheon Mountain Hospital is their only hope.

"Finance" reporter learned that on February 3, the 1,000-bed Vulcan Mountain Hospital must be completed as planned, but the specific opening hours require the cooperation of property, electricity, medical equipment and so on. At present, most hospitals interviewed by Caijing reporters have not yet received notification of patient transfer.

The days waiting for Vulcan Mountain and Thunder Mountain Hospital to open are the life and death barriers for some critically ill patients. According to a reporter from Caijing, even if a diagnosis is obtained and a community hospitalization ticket is obtained, it may not be possible to be admitted to the hospital as soon as possible.

The two Vulcan Hill and Lei Shenshan hospitals add up to 2,000 beds, which is not enough for two days of new cases in Hubei Province.

Weibo's public request for help became the last attempt of some people. A family member of a pregnant woman living near a paper kindergarten in Jiangxia District, Wuhan City told a Caijing reporter that the pregnant woman at home had been pregnant for 8 months. The latest diagnosis showed a severe infection of both lungs.

However, pregnant women will not be admitted to designated hot spots, and fetal heart rate monitoring will not be available in outpatient clinics. Women and children in the district and women and children in the province will not send and receive fever patients. A few days after the family tweeted for help, they got the attention of the community and the district government on January 31, and they ran to and from several hospitals in the community vehicle. Finally, they were admitted to the East Hospital of Wuhan University People's Hospital .

This is good news for this family. But for other families, the news complicates their mood. "It's time for anyone to shout loudly and who can live?" A family member of the patient told a reporter from Caijing.

Those who can find a bed are called "lucky ones". Six people in the Liu Xiaoqing family were ill, and only three of them were admitted to the hospital. "More, they rely on their own relationships and find channels."

The Liu Xiaoqing family may be infected at a family gathering. The epidemic on January 18 was not considered to be "person-to-person", and they ate dinner together outside. Soon after, the family had fevers, from parents and little aunts to 90-year-old grandma, and then to aunt and aunt. On January 21, Liu Xiaoqing's mother had a CT scan, which showed viral infection of both lungs.

After that, her mother had a high fever for four days, almost syncope. "We contacted many people and found Hankou Hospital. There was a bed for her to live in."

On January 28, her grandma began to develop symptoms, and moved to Hannan Hospital, Xiehe West Hospital, and failed to live in the hospital. Grandma waited for a day at the clinic, and finally got an injection. But she "trembled immediately like epilepsy and couldn't walk and talk normally." The doctor left her in the observation ward to inhale oxygen, but after returning home, her grandmother still had difficulty breathing.

"We looked for a lot of talents to be able to live in the ICU of the Sixth Hospital. At that time, we were also urging the community and Xiehe Hospital, but we didn't get feedback and news."

Her father also had difficulty breathing after the injection and used an inhaler. Liu Xiaoqing posted the situation to Weibo. When he got up at seven the next day, he received some useful information and let his father live in ICU.

My father said that others might think they tweeted for help, and finally being hospitalized was a medical injustice. "But after all, life matters." Later, she deleted Weibo.

At 4 am on January 29th, Chen Xiaowei, who lives in Shangyi Community, Wansong Street, Jianghan District, Wuhan City, dragged the patients to the hospital and finally put on a test strip at Xiehe Hospital. The test result was delivered on February 1st, showing that Chen Xiaowei was "shuangyang (diagnosed)", but when she and her family went to the community to receive the hospitalization form, they saw that there was someone in the Shangyi Community Service Point, so they would not open the door. The family can only choose to call the police.

The police did not arrive, but it was the neighborhood office that the community belonged to found a solution. Chen Xiaowei said that just this afternoon, the Subdistrict Office helped them find a bed in Xiehe. "It's finally saved," she said. In the evening, when Chen Xiaowei and her husband arrived at the Western Union Hospital to prepare for hospitalization, they were told that they needed to be transferred to the Red Cross Hospital. As of press time, they are still waiting for beds in the observation room of the Red Cross Hospital.

Professor Yao Lan, deputy director of the Security Center of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, said she saw that Macau had requisitioned a hotel relatively far from the crowd, as a centralized management area for people with a history of contact in Hubei. She suggested that similar measures could be taken in Hubei and other regions to effectively control suspected cases.

Shen Jun, chief assistant of the emergency center of Zhongnan Hospital and director of emergency surgery, told Caijing reporter that Zhongnan Hospital is a very heavy patient. "It belongs to patients with very unstable vital signs (poor oxygenation, fast heart rate, fast breathing rate, Patients with respiratory distress syndrome). " There is a shortage of beds, and those suspected or mild are isolated at home.



The Central South Hospital team where Shen Jun is located successfully used ECMO (Mobile Cardiopulmonary Apparatus) to treat a critically ill patient for the first time in the province
It is reported that there are almost no beds in the hospital, and the emergency department is also used to treat patients with viral lungs. The emergency observation room is also full.

Shen Jun said that the allocation of beds does not meet the needs of the community, but assesses the condition of the patients. "Some patients, for example, have been taken to the hospital by their families. They are very sick. Obviously, I can't let him go back in line, I will arrange it when the community report comes. Or I will not accept him, and then admitted the lighter patient reported by the community to the hospital. It must be impossible. "

Regarding the test kit, he said that the Central South Hospital can perform nucleic acid tests in fever clinics, and the results can be obtained in about 2 hours, but because the kit is limited, patients with viral pneumonia manifestations on lung CT can do it.

Shen Jun suggested that, if possible, centralize the isolation and treatment of mild patients, so that the epidemic can be effectively controlled. He also suggested that patients at home take two medicines, antiviral and anti-infective, with fever exceeding 38.5 ? C to reduce fever. "Because there is no specific medicine to treat this disease, you cannot follow the trend online. Buy any medicine you like Inpatient treatment is also a supportive treatment for critically ill patients. If this time can be passed, that's it. "

In the past two days, he had seen a 45-year-old patient, a family of five, his parents died of the new coronavirus pneumonia, and his son was infected. The patient's condition was very serious. She used high-flow oxygen inhalation and non-invasive mask ventilation, but her blood oxygen saturation was only 50%. Finally, she had to be anesthetized and intubated with ECMO.



(Shen Jun and Dr. Hu Ming from ICU, Wuhan Pulmonary Hospital, sweating after surgery)
"Before intubation and anesthesia, she watched us prepare, tears kept flowing down, and that fear made people feel distressed," said Shen Jun. There are still many cases like this, "Our doctors have all set Determined to do everything possible to treat all patients. "

Sun Chen, who has been waiting for the nucleic acid test strip with her father, does not allow herself to sleeplessly and cry. She knows she has to continue to urge the community, go to the hospital, and cook for her parents. . She expects that Vulcan Mountain and Thunder God Mountain will be built soon.

Coronavirus: cries of alarm from Congolese students stranded in China

February 3, 2020 Society 0

Congolese students stranded in China

The Coronavirus epidemic is spreading across the planet. Wuhan, the Chinese city that is the epicenter of this deadly disease, is quarantined.

Nationals of several countries are stranded, including Congolese students who, through a video that goes around social networks, call on the government to come to their aid in "emergency".

In this video of one minute and thirty seconds, three Congolese students appear sad and masks removed. Each takes turns to plead their case.

"We are Congolese students resident in China, precisely in Hubei province, the city of Yichang, very close to the city of Wuhan, the epicenter of the Coronavirus epidemic, we want to report the current situation to our government. ?, specifies the first, anxious to inform about their geographical location.
