The post 180 Nepalis Appeal for Evacuation from China appeared first on Nepali Sansar.
]]>Earlier on February 1, 2020, the Nepali Embassy in China had asked the Nepali citizens in Hubei Province to fill an evacuation form and send it to the Embassy before 9:00 am on February 2, 2020.
According to the Nepali Embassy in China, around 180 Nepalis from various cities in Hubei Province have appealed for evacuation from China. They include:
| No of Applications | Place |
| 59 | Wuhan |
| 50 | Jingzhou |
| 29 | Enshi |
| 28 | Shiyan |
| 9 | Jingmen |
| 5 | Yichang |
Around 10 Nepalis working in Hubei Province have not applied for evacuation, according to the Embassy.
The Nepali Embassy said that a chartered Nepal Airlines Corporation aircraft will be arranged for the evacuation of the applied Nepalis on February 5, 2020 via Wuhan Tianhe International Airport.
Before boarding the chartered flight, the Nepali nationals will have to undergo a medical check-up in China. If any one is tested positive for coronavirus, they will be restricted to travel to Nepal and are supposed to undergo treatment in China.
The Nepali Government has decided to isolate the evacuees for at least 15 days before sending them home. They are yet to finalize a location to quarantine the evacuees.
A New ‘Health Desk’
Apart from evacuation plans, the Nepali Government is also taking steps across its borders to prevent the entry of corona virus infection into the country.
A health desk has been set up at Jamunaha, the transit point at the Nepal-India border in Banke district, to prevent the spread of deadly coronavirus.
The people coming to Nepal through this transit point will undergo a health screening to check for coronavirus infection.
The coronavirus death toll in China has reached 361, with 17,238 confirmed infection cases, as of today, i.e., February 3, 2020.
Around 150 confirmed cases have been reported in at least 23 other countries with one death case in the Philippines.

He said the team’s preparation was satisfactory and is now good form compared to previous international tournaments.
“This time we arranged training in Indonesia, Malaysia and China, breaking the tradition of going to South Korea, and the players also got exposure in a couple of international events during the close camp training,” Shrestha said in a statement.
He said taekwondo will be the highest medal sport in the 13th South Asian Games and the matches will be held at Kathmandu, Pokhara and Janakpur from December 1-10, 2019.
Taekwondo has been one of the successful sports for Nepal. The Nepali taekwondo team claimed all the 14 gold medals in the 8th SAG but failed to repeat the magic in 12th SAG.
“It’s true that we have not been able to produce the likes of Deepak Bista, Sangina Baidya, Manita Shahi and Ayasha Shakya in recent times, but the current squad has the caliber of matching their achievements,” says Shrestha.
“The way these players performed in China and Indonesia earlier this month, I am sure we will claim at least half of the total gold medals in the SA Games,” he added.
Taekwondo offers 29 gold medals — 13 in poomsae and 16 in kyorugi.
