Five Pakistani Students Diagnosed with Coronavirus in China
Five Pakistani students in China have been diagnosed with coronavirus. The affected students are not from Wuhan city, the epicenter of the outbreak, but from Guangzhou.
The confirmation comes from the Chinese Ambassador to Pakistan Yao Jing, on Wednesday.
While talking to the news outlet, the Chinese ambassador said, “There are not four… five have been confirmed”, in Guangzhou.
“But before this illness, they visited Wuhan for some site seeing or something, so, unfortunately, they were affected,” Ambassador Jing said.
“The information I got yesterday is that their situation is improved… their health is progressing,” he said. “So don’t worry there won’t be any kind of bigger problem for them.”
The Chinese ambassador told the Pakistani students were immediately isolated and shifted to a hospital after showing symptoms of coronavirus.
Ambassador Jing said that the Chinese government is also trying to control the spread of the virus outside China.
“So evacuation sometimes is risky. This is the scientific recommendation that for safety and health it is better to stay where you are,” he added.
