		</div><p>A Wuhan evacuee who was quarantined for two weeks when he returned to the UK has said he wishes he had never left China.</p>
<p>Matt Raw, 38, shouted “<i>We’re free”</i> as he walked out of quarantine at Arrowe Park Hospital in Wirral on February 13, but now says he went “<i>out of the pot, into the fire” </i>when he was released.</p>
<p>He told the PA news agency: <i>“We should never have left China.</i></p>
<p><i>“We made the decision to come back over here because there was a killer virus running loose around Wuhan.</i></p>
<p><i>“At the time coronavirus was not in England – I think the first case was while we were in quarantine in Arrowe Park, and I thought ‘They have seen what happened in China, they will jump on this straight away’.</i></p>
<p><i>“They did nothing.”</i></p>
<p>Mr Raw, who arrived back in Britain on January 31 with his wife, Ying, 38, and his 75-year-old mother, Hazel, who has dementia, said that for friends and family in Wuhan things are starting to get back to normal.</p>
<p>He said: <i>“They’re out of lockdown, it looks like they’ve got control of the situation.</i></p>
<p><i>“Ying’s brother has his own business and, as far as I understand, they are all back at work now, but they’re still being sensible, taking precautions and not going out unnecessarily.”</i></p>
<p>Mr Raw abandoned his Jeep at Wuhan airport before boarding the repatriation flight, but said his brother-in-law had now been able to collect the vehicle.</p>
<p>He said he believed China had done “everything right” and acted more quickly and with greater force than the UK to restrict the spread of the virus.</p>
<p>Now, he is not planning to return to the country until there is a vaccine for Covid-19 making it safe for his mother to travel.</p>
<p>He said his wife had applied for a visa to stay in the UK but delays with the process mean they are not sure if she will need to return to China next month.</p>
