It’s been reported that over 500 Indian students, many of whom are from Telangana and Kerala, are studying in colleges and universities in Wuhan, though a large number had departed prior to the outbreak due to Lunar New Year celebrations. Earlier this week, the government announced that it was preparing to evacuate Indian citizens stranded in Wuhan city, in the Hubei Province of China, the epicentre of the novel Coronavirus outbreak. Those arriving in India from Wuhan are required to undergo a mandatory 14-day quarantine on arrival in the country. (This is a developing story)
