The Chinese Irish community has set up an online chat group to offer support to families and individuals who are choosing to place themselves in voluntary quarantine after visits home to China.
Today Lina Song was reunited with her little son, Noah, after weeks of separation due to voluntary quarantine.
For two weeks Lina could only watch her son through the glass of the family's patio door. She had not travelled to China and had moved out of the family home with her other 7-year-old son, to allow their home to be used for quarantine. Noah's family are among an estimated at least 100 Chinese origin people living here who have chosen to place themselves in voluntary quarantine after returning from China in recent weeks.
Dannie believes that there are more, who have not made contact with the group because they don't need support.They are self-isolating just as a precaution. "Myself I dropped food to the doorsteps of two friends. My friend loves doughnuts so I brought her fresh vegetables and meat, and also doughnuts".
