Coronavirus. British teacher in Shanghai: "We will only leave if we can go together"

From the Guardian live updating on the Novel Coronavirus situation:

A British teacher in Shanghai, who asked the Guardian to remain anonymous, is staying in China after he was unable to get a visa for his young daughter.

“She has a Chinese and British passport and we have to apply for a travel permit from the Chinese government every time she wishes to travel back to the UK. This takes 10 days but the offices are shut at the moment,” he said.

“We were unable to get out and now airlines are shutting down flights. We are safely back in our apartment and trying to relax and make the best of the situation. We have food to last around two weeks but obviously we are a little concerned.”

“We’ve got two small children and with the situation rapidly changing we are becoming more and more isolated. I think this raises many questions about the British government’s policies on family and citizenship. It’s incredibly hard to stay as a family and be mobile internationally if you’re in a ‘mixed citizenship’ family. We will only leave if we can go together.”
