Indian Forces Gear Up to Receive Countrymen Returning from China Amid Coronavirus Outbreak

New Delhi (Sputnik): India on Friday arranged a special Air India Flight to evacuate its citizens stranded in the Chinese city of Wuhan where the Novel Coronavirus was first detected. The step came after the World Health Organisation on Thursday declared the spread of the virus a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern”.

The Indian Army has created a facility near Manesar in Haryana to quarantine nearly 300 Indian students arriving from China’s Wuhan city for two weeks to check for any signs of coronavirus.
