In order to ensure the safety of citizens residing in the Chinese province of Wuhan and the embodiment of what was announced by the President of the Republic, Monday, February 3, 2020, 10 Tunisian citizens were evacuated in coordination with the Algerian authorities who allocated a military plane for this purpose, while providing them with the necessary health care before departure and throughout the flight.
The Tunisian citizens were transported directly to the country upon arrival at Algiers airport by a military plane provided by the Tunisian government and were directed to the quarantine centre which was ready to receive them and to be surrounded by specialized health teams throughout the 14-day isolation period, which is an incubation period for La nouvelle Corona disease; note that no suspicious cases have yet emerged among Tunisians residing in the Chinese region around Wuhan.
