Mongolian health officials confirmed that 31 students and a child evacuated from the Chinese city of Wuhan have tested negative of the coronavirus infection. Officials have isolated all those involved in the evacuation including 15 people from flight crew from the national flag carrier MIAT, engineers, technicians and other professional workers at the National Centre for Communicable Diseases (NCCD). They will remain isolated for 14 days, during which period the coronavirus symptoms will appear if the individual is infected.

Separately, an eight-year old girl and her parents, who returned from Erlian in northern China, have also tested negative on coronavirus infection. They have been quarantined at the NCCD after the child, who had a high temperature and the parents began coughing.
