Coronavirus: African in Guangzhou, China says 'discrimination' behind 6-day mandatory quarantine

Chieu LuuandWallis Wang

Several African nations have lodged complaints with the Chinese government after officials in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou ordered all foreigners from Africa to be quarantined for 14 days, amid fears of a second wave of Covid-19. The order came after five Nigerians living in the city tested positive for the disease, prompting an investigation into possible community transmission in Guangzhou's "Little Africa" area. One of the Africans who identified himself as "Steven" says he was put into mandatory quarantine, and locked inside his flat for six days. Fearing further discrimination, he asked for his identity to be concealed in this interview with the South China Morning Post.
