Now on maternity leave, Huang is visiting family in the Wuchang District in the city of Wuhan. The district is located across the Yangtze River from the seafood market where the coronavirus outbreak is believed to have originated. Shortly after learning of severity of the virus, Huang decided to leave early and booked a flight home for Jan. 24, the same day the entire city went into lockdown. If Huang’s son contracts coronavirus, she worries that he won’t get appropriate medial attention because he doesn’t have Chinese government ID.
