Reporter’s Notebook: We Stayed in Wuhan as the Last Trains Pulled Out

After seeing off my colleagues leaving Wuhan before dawn Thursday from the city’s main railway station, I know that I face a quarantine that may last as long as two months now that authorities have shut down the train station, airports and mass transit.

A team of Caixin reporters including me arrived in the city two days ago to report on what is happening at the epicenter of the deadly viral pneumonia outbreak. Some of us decided to stay on to continue documenting the course of the new coronavirus.
