Wuhan has been locked down, no flights in or out because of the quarantine. Chinese passport holders who live in Wuhan (or any area that has been closed) and are stranded here will not be charged an overstay fine as a result.

It means you won't end up in a cell if you overstay because you refuse to fly to China or get sick on Thai soil
