Residents of the provincial city of Wuhan have called for help and shared their worries of food shortages. Public transport was also suspended as authorities told residents not to leave in a bid to control the spread of the virus. Some called on the government to provide more resources to Wuhan, saying there were not enough masks to buy and that food prices were rising. Can we control food prices?" When public transport services will resume will be announced later.
