A New Zealand software technician trapped indefinitely in Wuhan by the coronavirus outbreak believes New Zealand should be doing more to get its people out of the city.
Joanna, who wants only to be know by her first name, went to visit her father for the Chinese new year.
She says hasn't left the house for five days because she's worried about catching the virus and a lot of information circulating is unreliable and pretty scary.
Joana describes the atmosphere in the city, where large gatherings and travel in and out of the city is banned.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade has confirmed there are 21 New Zealanders registered as being in Wuhan, with MFAT receiving a small number of requests for consular assistance.
It says it is aware that some countries are providing their citizens with assistance to depart Wuhan and is working with its offices in China and consular partner countries about how to assist New Zealanders in Wuhan.
