Health workers spray disinfectant on Indonesian evacuees as they disembark from a plane on Sunday at Hang Nadim International Airport in Batam, the Riau Islands. As many as 238 Indonesians who were evacuated from Wuhan, China, transited at the airport before being transported to Natuna regency for a two-week quarantine to ensure they are free from the novel coronavirus.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS – After successfully evacuating Indonesians living in Hubei province, China, and returning them to Indonesian territories, the Indonesian government is expected to give more attention and aid to Indonesians living outside of Hubei in China. They are starting to run out of supplies, including food.

Wuhan in Hubei province is the epicenter of the new coronavirus’ spread. The pneumonia case caused by the virus first emerged in Wuhan in December 2019. Later, Hubei was quarantined by the Chinese government. Now, there are 17,485 positive new coronavirus cases and 362 deaths worldwide.
