Cardi B, an American rapper, songwriter, and actress, recently talked about the coronavirus during an Instagram live session.

"When they put Wuhan China in quarantine….the coronavirus cases is going lower, that's because they spray over the street, and they are knocking on each door taking people's temperature, if they have the coronavirus, they do strict quarantine on them," said Cardi B. 

"While we quarantine at home, what is the government is doing," she asked, questioning the U.S. government's response to the outbreak. "How am I supposed to know that I have the coronavirus?”

A Twitter user captioned "FACTS" with a video clip of Cardi B's live, talking about China's effective measures taken in Wuhan.
