PUTRAJAYA (Bernama): The Malaysian High Commission in Beijing, China and the Consulate in Xi’an are in constant communication with 49 Malaysians in Wuhan to keep abreast of their situation in view of the novel coronavirus outbreak there, says Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah.
The Foreign Minister said at the moment, there was no need to bring the Malaysians home, adding that such a move will depend on how critical the situation becomes.
He urged Malaysians across China, and particularly those in Wuhan, to contact the High Commission or the nearest consulate to enable the government to monitor their situation. Meanwhile, Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said the four confirmed coronavirus cases in Malaysia were categorised as a cluster infection because it only involved a small group of tourists from China, and there was no infection among the Malaysian population.
