Hong Kong to bring back 533 stranded citizens from Wuhan
HONG KONG - Hong Kong has arranged four charter flights to bring back 533 of its residents from the Chinese province of Hubei, the center of the coronavirus outbreak, about a month after countries around the world began evacuating their citizens.
Various countries including the United States, France, Germany and South Korea began evacuating hundreds of their citizens in late January or early February. “As far as I understand, even up to this moment there are still very clear restrictions on exit arrangements ... from Hubei province. As soon as the conditions were ready for us to help Hong Kong residents to come back to Hong Kong we have immediately made arrangements to do so.”
