PARIS - Amelia Pan is at home in Canada while her 2-year-old daughter Cerena is stranded far away in China’s Hubei province, epicentre of the coronavirus outbreak, being cared for by a distant relative after the girl’s father and grand-parents fell ill.
For days now, Pan has been scrambling to get her daughter onto an evacuation flight back to Canada, but it has been complicated. “My daughter is less than 3, and still is wearing diapers, she cannot take care of herself, she needs a lot of help from adults,” said Pan.The family drama began on Jan. 17 when Pan’s husband, Wei Ye, received a call from his sister back home in the Chinese city of Yingshan, near Wuhan. The sister said Ye’s father was close to death because of complications from cancer.
Cerena was left in the care of a neighbour. But because she was deemed an infection risk, she was put in hospital. Fortunately, test results came back negative on Saturday. If her temperature stays normal, she should be discharged from the hospital over the weekend, her mother said.
