Coronavirus: First batch of 200 Wuhan evacuees discharged from ITBP quarantine camp

NEW DELHI: A batch of about 200 people, who were among over 400 quarantined at an ITBP facility in Delhi after being evacuated earlier this month from coronavirus-hit Wuhan, were discharged on Monday, a senior official said.

The centre housed a total of 406 people, including seven Maldivians.

“After the final coronavirus test reports of all 406 people living at our facility were found negative, the first batch was discharged today.

“We expect about 200 people will leave by tonight. The rest will be sent on Tuesday and in the subsequent days as per the travel plans of the inmates,” ITBP spokesperson Vivek Kumar Pandey said.

The first batch also includes the Maldivian nationals, he said. (AGENCIES)
