All 112 people, including the 23 from Bangladesh, who are housed at a quarantine facility in India after they were evacuated from Wuhan in China, have tested negative for coronavirus, reports our New Delhi correspondent quoting an official.
"The samples of all the 112 people were sent to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences here and the reports are negative. The quarantine period will continue for about a fortnight," a spokesperson for the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) said.
Seventy-six Indians and 36 foreigners were taken to the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) force quarantine centre in Chhawla area of south Delhi on February 27 after they were flown from Wuhan city on an Indian Air Force transport plane.
"The second samples of the returnees will be taken on the fourteenth day of the quarantine period and all of those who test negative will be released from the ITBP centre," the spokesperson said according to the New Delhi correspondent.
A team of doctors and paramedics are present at the quarantine facility round-the-clock, the spokesperson said.
The group of foreign nationals include six from China, two each from Myanmar and Maldives and one each from Madagascar, South Africa and the USA.
Earlier, India had evacuated around 650 Indians from Wuhan on board two Air India flights.
All later tested negative for the virus and were allowed to go home after over a fortnight of quarantine.
