Coronavirus outbreak: Govt bans airlines from boarding passengers from China to India

India Today  

The government on Tuesday banned all India-bound airlines from boarding any passengers from China on an e-visa, in view of the rapid spread of novel coronavirus which originated in Wuhan. In a letter issued by the Bureau of Immigration, Ministry of Home Affairs, Kolkata, the government said: "All airlines are informed not to take on board any passenger from China, including Chinese or other foreign nationals who may be holding valid ETA/e-visa to board their aircraft for any destination in India." Following the evacuation, the Indian embassy in China had said: "Due to certain current developments, travel to India on e-visas stands temporarily suspended with immediate effect." However, the embassy has asked Indian citizens in China to contact them in Beijing or consulates and Indian visa application centres in Shanghai and Guangzhou in case there was a "compelling reason" to visit India.
