Silva Doci is the only Albanian who is currently located in Wuhan, the source of the coronavirus that infected thousands of people in China and that is quickly spreading to other countries as well.

In an interview for Top Channel, Silvia said that she has been living for 11 years in what is now considered as the Ground Zero of the newest virus.

The Albanian student said that she was not allowed to leave the city before it was completely shut down, because she had flu symptoms.

“I had some tests done and they showed it was just the seasonal flu. I have new tests tomorrow for the coronavirus. After this I hope I will be allowed to leave Wuhan”, she said in a live interview on Top Channel.

The moment when she got sick was very stressful for her and the family.

She is currently living at the university campus and submits daily reports about her health.

“I live in a dormitory and we have taken provisions. They also gave us thermometers”, she said.

Silva wants to leave Wuhan. She was offered a home in other areas, but no one is allowed to get out now that the city is under quarantine.

“The Embassy is trying to take me out of Wuhan. I am the only Albanian left here”, she said.
