Coronavirus: 'I'm safe but I still feel scared to go out' - Chawinga on life in Wuhan

Despite the ending of lockdown after nearly three months last Wednesday, the striker is still worried going out in the epicenter

Temwa Chawinga joined the Chinese Women's Super League side Wuhan before the coronavirus outbreak in January, and the Malawi star says she is "safe but still feels scared to go out".

Chawinga parted ways with Swedish side Kvarnsvedens to join her sister Tabitha in China as she completed a two-year deal with the Chinese club in mid-January, where the virus was first reported.

Normal life disappeared in Wuhan as they lived under lockdown for 76 days, until last Wednesday, as the virus spread to 210 countries, with about 1,800,000 cases and 110,000 deaths globally.
