Tunisia-Coronavirus: Jordan evacuate 71 Arab Students including Tunisians from China Wuhan

A plane carrying 71 Jordanian and Arab students arrived at the Queen Alia International Airport at dawn on Saturday after being evacuated from China’s Wuhan. The direct 11-and-a-half-hour flight to Amman was requested personally by King Abdullah, reported Jordan’s Petra news agency.

Acting Health Minister Saleh al-Kharabsheh said the students will be transferred to al-Bashir Hospital for examination to ensure that they are free from infection. The passengers will not enter the airport building as a precaution, he added.

 Transport Minister Khalid Saif said there were 55 Jordanian students, seven Palestinians, three Omanis, a Lebanese, three Tunisians and Bahraini on board the Royal Jordanian aircraft, which is the first official carrier of a country to enter the Wuhan airport for evacuation.
