HANGZHOU (Xinhua): Before boarding Scoot flight TR188 in Singapore on Jan 24, the Lunar New Year's Eve, tour guide Lao Guan knew the trip home would be anything but uneventful.
"It was as if we were string puppets at the mercy of fate."
Upon landing, these passengers had to undergo enhanced health screening at Hangzhou International Airport, before spending the first 14 days of the lunar new year quarantine. "I was in total despair and asked myself 'Have I been infected with the virus?'" Li recalled days later.Fortunately, her body temperature returned to normal after two hospital visits. At about 3am on Jan 25, she was finally sent to the quarantine hotel near the airport.
"In a completely new environment, I am the only one my mother and child can count on. I must be strong," Li said. To their great relief, all three tested negative for the virus. To kill time and not sink into loneliness, Guan tried to keep himself busy with the only tool at his disposal: his cellphone.
