In China, having an alone-new-year is unusua, but I didn’t go back hometown for this Chinese New Year since COVID-19 outbreak. I was very panic in the beginning days. Now I think I have some experience may help u:

WEAR RESPIRATORY MASK! This is very important because it is able to prevent u from droplets, which is the main spread way.

WASH HANDS! Washing after u come back home from outside, washing after using toilets, washing before cooking. Just wash wash and wash.

STAY AT HOME! Chinese always think highly of spring festival, but I didn’t go back from my work city to spend holidays with my families this time because this damn virus. I didn’t go out for almost 60 days. I order meat and vegetables online once a week, and i have many instant food. So, with WiFi and PS4, my life was quite good. Most of my families work in hospital. They told me this is a war for all of us. And only for us can do is staying at home do not go outside. Staying at home is our way to fight.

Do not have prejudice! My hometown is Hubei. I work in other city now. Even some Chinese have discrimination to people from Hubei. But this is not right. Hubei people sacrifice their own freedom and economy for other people around the world. So please be love and peace.

Oh, btw, if anyone in ur building has been diagnosed, do not touch handrail of those stairs in the building, and do not use exhaust fans in your toilet.

I really wish u guys can keep in good health, and end this ASAP. we will do this together!
