Millions of people have been living in quarantine because of the new Covid-19 coronavirus outbreak in China.

One of those people is Saskea. She's an English teacher from South Africa who lives in Tianjin, which is a city on the north coast of China.

She went on a trip to Shanghai at the end of January and has been in quarantine since she returned home.

At first she chose to self-isolate because she was worried about catching the disease. But now there are more strict measures from the government to stay indoors.

Saskea told ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ OS what she's been doing in quarantine.
