Georgian citizen in Wuhan: situation is serious, but no reason to panic

Georgian citizen Nini Davlianidze, who is currently in the Chinese city of Wuhan in Hubei province, reported today that the situation is serious, but there is no reason to panic. 

Davlianidze is one of those, who refused to be evacuated from Wuhan, where the new coronavirus originated. 

In a video released on her Facebook earlier today, Davlianidze, wearing a face mask under a scarf, entered the shop for some grocery.

Davlianidze noted however, that at the entrance she was examined and was let in as she did not have the temperature. She also underscored that everyone in Wuhan is following preventive measures against the virus.
