Christians Boldly Share the Love of Christ on the Streets of China's Coronavirus Hot Zone

Roughly 350 Americans have arrived home from China after leaving the coronavirus hot zone, touching down in California where they'll be quarantined. The evacuations come as the virus is still spreading, infecting more than 28,000 people.

China admits at least 560 people are dead from the virus, but the actual numbers are unverifiable and some believe the real death toll to be much higher..

At the epicentre of the coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, China, surgical masks are being used in two ways to further the spread of the Gospel.

First, Christians wear the mask themselves as they talk about Jesus to people on the streets. This not only helps prevent disease, but can also prevent prosecution by the Chinese government since the masks help conceal a person's identity.

There are an estimated 100 million Christians in China, who often face persecution in the Communist nation. For that reason, most operate underground.

Second, Chinese Christians are handing out masks to people on the street. Along with the masks, they're also handing out Gospel tracts.

CBN News Asia Correspondent Lucille Talusan said since the people of Wuhan are facing fearful uncertainty in the midst of the coronavirus epidemic, some have become more receptive to Christ at this time.

"There are Christians, a ministry in Wuhan, they go out to the streets. They're very courageous," she said. "They give out masks and they say that they are Christians and they share the love of Christ and point to Jesus to bring hope to them and their families and the whole of China... This is really a break-through."

As the infection rate soars, Americans and other foreigners are evacuating. The 350 Americans who left Wuhan on two US State Department chartered airplanes landed at Travis Air Force base near San Francisco. The passengers from one of the planes will remain quarantined there for two weeks. The other plane refueled and flew to Miramar Air Station in San Diego where they will remain quarantined for two weeks as well.

The evacuees will be housed in hotels on the military bases and will not have any contact with base personnel, according to the US Department of Defense.

Although the number of coronavirus cases continues to climb, the World Health Organization meeting Tuesday stopped short of declaring the epidemic a global pandemic. While the number of cases has spread to dozens of other countries, the outbreak is still largely confined to China, where the government there is taking extreme measures to contain the virus.

A hospital built in a mere 10 days cares for 1,000 patients and that's not enough. A gymnasium and exhibition center have been converted into a temporary field hospital.

Chinese officials use drones to spray disinfectant and to speak to citizens through microphones on the drones, telling them to put on masks, go inside, or disperse from gatherings where the disease can spread.

Casinos in the Chinese territory of Macau, the world's largest gambling hub, are closed for at least two weeks.

Off the coast of Japan, 3,700 people aboard a cruise ship are quarantined on board after 10 tested positive for the virus.

The US and other countries have enacted stringent travel restrictions to and from China.

Health experts say the coronavirus appears milder than previously thought. The death rate hovers around 2% with the vast majority over age 60 with pre-existing health problems. And 700 people are confirmed to have fully recovered from the illness, approximately 200 more than the number of confirmed deaths.

The US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention says the risk of contracting the virus is low. The first American to have been diagnosed with the virus, a man in his thirties in the Seattle area, was discharged from the hospital Monday. There are 10 other confirmed cases in the US and zero deaths. Nine of the US cases contracted the virus in Wuhan, the other two are their spouses.

Am a Christian but how this post concerns Atheists remains a mystery to me.

A true Christian should be tolerant, which you're not.

To me, the best way to show love of Christ is to pray to him right there in the open to heal all people infected with the virus immediately and banish it from the country.
This would convince even the persecuting government that the Christian god is the true god.

Sharrap!
You mean taking advantage of peoples misfortune to lure them into your faith.
You should have just done it without adding your useless gospel tracts,then I'll know it was selfless,because that's the actual reason you're there.

Why do you feel so pained?

Does anyone stop you from printing your own tracts and share?

The truth is if such thing happened, people like you will still disregard the possibility of its supernatural and attribute such event to government relentless effort and the medical personnels war over the virus!

What is the point of being healed and going to hell when they die?
