China's factory workers chafe under quarantineWhile workers are slowly returning to their jobs after being quarantined since Lunar New Year, millions remain stuck at home. BEIJING: China's coronavirus epidemic turned a Lunar New Year family reunion into an enforced quarantine for factory worker Hu Aihua, trapping him at home and preventing him from returning to his job. Factory worker Liu Zhishuang, 28, has been cooped up at home with his family in eastern Anhui province for almost a month. "We can't leave," he said. Binhai New Area in Tianjin municipality arranged for 150 large buses to help staff outside the province return to work, said state news agency Xinhua.
