WUHAN - Hafit Alaqouri loves playing sports and jogging, but he has not been able to work out for a few days. The Libyan student in Wuhan has hunkered down as the city battles the novel coronavirus outbreak.

"The international centre in the university shares a lot of English articles, telling us how to protect ourselves over the epidemic. As for me, I bought a box of surgical masks. And I open my window for 20 minutes in the morning. Before every meal, I wash my hands carefully," he said. Vera Syrvasova, from Russia, is a public administration graduate at Huazhong University of Science and Technology. She came to Wuhan on an exchange programme in 2017 and fell in love with the city.

Huazhong University of Science and Technology has about 2,025 overseas students, among whom 1,046 now remain in Wuhan.
