I have a business trip to SH and you know SH is bad during the COVID 19 so there’s nobody on the street and there are 2 colleagues that go with me – we are on the same trip. So when we arrive in SH we are still talking normally, working normally and we are talking that you are not positive, but just the 2nd day they are all got the COVID 19….. they only can stay in the hotel, so they just stay in SH for almost 2 weeks and cannot go home. Because of the COVID 19 we have to postpone the return date. But actually for me, because I’m still negative so I can take care of them in the day time and when we after work it’s only me so I go to see a movie. It’s not quite very good, but it’s still worth to seeing in the cinema.
