A Penn student unable to leave Wuhan has taken a leave of absence. A Temple student, also from Wuhan, made it back before travel was stopped, but now wonders about those back home.

Zhexuan Huang, a University of Pennsylvania sophomore, in Wuhan, China, near the Northwest Lake in Jianghan District. Huang grew up in Wuhan, the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak. He is taking a leave of absence from college this semester after being unable to return to Philadelphia.
