• The novel coronavirus has spread to at least 48 countries and has infected more than 81,000 people. 
• To protect from spreading further, Taiwan is requiring travelers arriving from areas outside of China, Hong Kong, and Macau to undergo a 14-day quarantine at home.
• KeyKey Hung, a mother of 5-year-old twins, recently completed a two-week quarantine in Taiwan after traveling there from her home in Hong Kong.
• Hung said keeping her active children busy was a challenge, but it was also an opportunity to spend quality time together and to learn to be more patient.

For two weeks, KeyKey Hung couldn't leave the house. She couldn't go out to buy groceries or take a walk. For her, not being able to exercise was particularly inconvenient. But that wasn't her biggest challenge.

Hung, a stay-at-home mom, has 5-year-old twins; a boy and a girl. They're active and curious and not used to being cooped up. They're not even used to residing in Taiwan.

The Hung family lives in Hong Kong. They left home at the beginning of the month amid growing concerns around the coronavirus outbreak that has now spread to at least 48 countries, infected more than 81,000 people, and killed more than 2,760 people.    [FULL  STO-RY]
