Julia Volok says some of her fellow passengers expected a warm welcome on their arrival in
Ukraine after finally being evacuated from the epicenter of the coronavirus epidemic in China's Hubei province this week.
Instead Volok, a 26-year-old Chinese-language student, and her fellow evacuees found their buses being pelted with projectiles by
protesters on Thursday as they approached the sanatorium where they have started a mandatory two-week quarantine.
Despite repeated reassurances from the government that there was no danger, the protesters feared being infected by the virus.
