Mebarkia Seif Eddine from Algeria who now works as an English teacher in Yinchuan, Northwest China's Ningxia Hui autonomous region, is making full use of his time at home during the time when people are requested not to go outside in case of being infected by the novel coronavirus.

The 29-year-old spends his time at home reading, doing sports, as well as preparing for Chinese tests. He goes out to buy articles for his daily needs every three or four days.?

"I believe in Chinese people. I believe in the Chinese government. Put together, they can overcome this hardship (overcome the novel coronavirus outbreak). You are a nation of miracles and you believe in yourself, so you can do it," he said.
