A Ukrainian model who has been trapped for 80 days in Wuhan, the epicentre of the coronavirus pandemic, has finally made it home.
Anastasia Zinchenko, 22, says that she returned to her home city of Kherson in southern Ukraine on May 7. She had been hoping to be evacuated from China on February 19, but officials in Ukraine refused to allow her to bring her little dog Michelle with her.
Anastasia was told that she didn’t have the right paperwork to travel internationally with the pup, and that there wasn’t enough space on the flight anyway.
That meant that Anastasia and Michelle remained stuck in China. She posted the story of her eventual return home on Instagram, saying: “You’re probably all wondering how I got home?
