The death toll in China due to the coronavirus has jumped to 304 with the number of cases climbing to 14,380, as per the country’s official reports.
As a matter of fact, a second batch of 323 stranded Indians and 7 Maldivian citizens were airlifted from China’s coronavirus-hit Wuhan city today. This brings about the total number of evacuations to 654. As per records, four Indians could not board the second flight after they reported high temperatures.
Foreign Minister of Maldives, Abdulla Shahid thanked Indian PM Narendra Modi airlifting 7 natives from virus-hit Wuhan. Upon arrival, they'll be housed in Delhi for a period of quarantine.
