India on Friday banned the export of personal protection equipment
such as masks and clothing amid a global coronavirus outbreak.
It did not give a reason for the ban but it reported its first case
of the new coronavirus on Thursday, a woman in the southern state of
Kerala who was a student of Wuhan University in China.
The central Chinese city of Wuhan is the epicenter of the outbreak,
and the virus has since spread to more than 9,800 people globally and
killed 213 people in China.
Several Indian citizens living in Wuhan will arrive in India by plane
on Saturday and be taken to a quarantine center on the outskirts of the
capital New Delhi.
India, the world’s second most heavily populated country after China,
has taken measures to ensure that all people arriving from China report
to health authorities.
