In January, as a result of fears about the “coming pandemic”, Redelinghuys packed her bags and returned to South Africa. “We landed in Shanghai, where we had to wait for two hours while the crew led passengers off the flight in groups of about 10,” said Redelinghuys. Eight days later, she received a notice informing her that she would be transferred to a quarantine facility by bus the following day.
“The food is rice, without salt, that is cooked in a way that you can cut it into blocks, which you could use to knock somebody out, with pork liver, heart or stomach, and spinach cooked in water, just like that. Also, cauliflower without salt. Every meal comes with a bowl of Chinese soup that literally looks like dirty dishwashing water,” said Redelinghuys.
