Fijian students stranded in Wuhan, China, due to the coronavirus outbreak would have to undergo quarantine procedures in China prior to evacuation.

This was the word from Health Minister Dr Ifereimi Waqainabete who said the 16 students would have to be quarantined in China and isolated again when they returned home.

“No airline will allow any person from Wuhan to board any aircraft unless they are quarantined,” Dr Waqainabete said.
