People in Wuhan, the centre of the virus outbreak, tell Sky News they feel 'powerless and helpless' as they are left in lockdown.

His brother went upstairs to check on him and"found my father's hands and feet cold". He called for a doctor but Mr Peng's father had died.Mr Peng said:"[The government] can't just shout out slogans and say positive things like 'leave no one behind' in the news without actually doing anything.

"We just want some sort of explanation. It doesn't matter if it's financial compensation or consolation. It will make us feel better. After all my father was only 60. He had not reached the age to enjoy the bliss of our big family."Wuhan remains in total lockdown.Her daughter hasn't left the house since 20 January - more than five weeks. Yet she doesn't resent the lockdown, just how long it took for authorities to act.

"I asked them, they were telling me that this is not good. But they didn't want to tell me more. So I'm thinking, this is definitely something serious."She replied:"I can only guess that maybe they cannot say anything about it. In China sometimes it's very hard to talk about this kind of crisis. "Even us people living in Wuhan, we didn't realise how serious it was. Because we didn't receive any warning, like you should definitely wear a mask on the street."That you cannot go to certain places. So life was quite normal for us for basically the whole of January."She added:"For my friends who are working in the hospital, working on the frontline, we worry about their families as well. Because the working pressure is very big. And they cannot back off.

"Me and my wife sleep in one room and the others sleep in another room. All the beds are temporary. Two people share a single bed. So the living conditions are very uncomfortable."
