No Iranian nationals affected by Coronavirus in China

Among 80 Iranians who live in Wuhan which is the center of Coronavirus crisis, no Iranian resident has been affected, the Iranian diplomatic mission in China said in a statement.

Iran Press/Asia: Iranian diplomatic mission in China in a statement said all issues related to Iranian nationals like the request for exiting the place and health supports are under investigation and the embassy is in contact with Iranian nationals.

Due to the high risk of Coronavirus communication, group transfer of foreign nationals is not suggested by Wuhan local officials and the World Health Organization.

In order to fight Coronavirus, the Chinese New Year holiday has been extended, the embassy said urging those who want to travel to China to postpone their visit. 

Due to the fact that most of the universities in China will start the new semester with delay, those students who are in Iran do not need to hurry to return to China.

Earlier, the National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China announced that the number of Coronavirus victims has mounted to 132 and some 6,000 more have been affected.

Meanwhile earlier, Iran's Health Minister Saeed Namaki said no case of Coronavirus has so far been observed in Iran, saying that visas for Chinese citizens will be issued if they have a clean health card.

Namaki said that SARS coronavirus had a considerable mortal rate in 2002, adding that it became viral in 2012 under the name of the Middle East respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus (MERS-CoV).

Iranian Foreign Ministry has released necessary recommendations to Iranian nationals in China.
