She said she performed a virus infection test on February 6, and the test found that the virus had not been infected, but was nevertheless told to stay in quarantine for two weeks. She broke the electronic lock in the hospital and fled.
In her Instagram account, Ilina said she had a sore throat shortly after returning to Russia from Hainan city of China on January 30. On February 6, Ilina decided to call an ambulance and was rushed to the Botkin Clinical Infectious Disease Hospital in St. Petersburg in Russia. Her tests showed she was not infected with the virus, but the next day, she was told to stay in a hospital for two weeks, which is estimated to be the maximum incubation period for the virus, to be sure. "All three tests showed that I was perfectly healthy, so why the hell the quarantine?" Ilina wrote on Instagram.

In addition, the Health Commission said that the number of adherents had risen by 15,152, including people diagnosed with the new clinical methods, and had risen to 59,805 adherents statewide. This is after media outlets said last week that Hubei would make diagnoses using computed tomography (CT) scan, which would allow hospitals to more quickly isolate subjects.
