'When there is a need for help, I'll be there,' volunteer Naijun Wang says
Chinese Canadians concerned about potential coronavirus spread have launched mutual help groups to encourage those who have travelled to China to go through self-imposed quarantine.
Canadian health officials have urged anyone returning from Hubei — the Chinese province at the centre of the outbreak — to voluntarily quarantine themselves for 14 days. But many have chosen self-imposed quarantine even if they haven't been to Hubei, organizers of the groups told CBC News.
"We built a WeChat group consisting of volunteers and people who were recently in China," Naijun Wang told CBC News in Mississauga on Saturday.
