SHANGHAI (Reuters) - A transparent plastic bag dropped at the door of my Shanghai apartment contained a handful of surgical masks along with a "friendly notice" informing me that I was under home quarantine for two weeks.
The reason? I had briefly been inside the widening exclusion zone in China's Hubei province, including a stop on the train as it passed through Wuhan, the city at the epicentre of the new coronavirus.
