The city of Tianmen in Hubei Province was locked down the day after Wuhan was put under quarantine. Mr. and Mrs. Liu are both from Hebei. They have been trapped in Tianmen due to stringent travel rules that make it difficult for them to leave the city. - Mr. Liu: Tianmen requires a special permit for traveling outside Hubei. Those who need to leave the province must first obtain proof of their destination from the local authorities there. People have complained about this rule on social media. Local governments in other provinces don’t require this type of documentation. My wife, for example, has a back-to-work notice from the local health department. She’s needed during the epidemic to monitor body temperature at checkpoints. But she’s not allowed to leave Tianmen unless she can provide documentation from the local authorities. This travel permit stuff has become a hurdle for us. This procedure is unjustified.The rules are very strict for us in the city, even dogs can’t go out of the compounds. Local officials know this. We have been trapped here for so long.
