Wuhan Pneumonia Virus (Covid-19) has spread worldwide and 9 confirmed cases have been recorded in the UK so far. Some Chinese students studying in the UK claim to have been discriminated against, and the situation is getting worse. They have been ridiculed in the streets that “you deserves the coronavirus.”
A group of Cardiff Chinese students interviewed by a Sky News reporter said they had been insulted on their way to school. Student Zhang Zhang (Robin Zhang) said, “Four people stood by the door and shouted” Hey! Coronavirus! “To my friends, and they covered their noses and mouths with shirt collars and laughed aloud. ”
Another victim, Lucy, said: “I’m sad, but of course I don’t know how to respond. I think coronavirus is a problem that everyone must face. I really hope that everyone can overcome the epidemic.
During their interview on the street, some people also spoke insulting their friend, Sarah Tan. The woman came from Wuhan, the source of the outbreak, and wore a mask during the interview. She said, “My parents were worried about me and wanted me to wear masks in the UK … I was really frustrated when someone shouted coronavirus.”
