The information I got yesterday is that health is improving. So don’t worry, there won’t be any bigger problem for them.

Responding to a question regarding the evacuation of Pakistani students from China, ambassador Jing maintained that his government is trying to control the spread of the novel virus outside the country.

So, evacuation sometimes is risky. This is the scientific recommendation that for safety and health, it is better to stay where you.

It should be noted that the deadly virus has so far claimed 560 lives in China.
