Sabah working closely with China on return of their citizens


On their way home: China tourists waving farewell as 123 of the Hubei nationals make their way home to Wuhan after the China government arranged for a special Xiamen Airlines flight on Friday.

KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah government will continue to work with the China authorities to facilitate the return of their nationals to the republic.

Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal said the state’s temporary ban on all flights from China – from Jan 30 – was only to stop new arrivals of China tourists to Sabah during the current coronavirus epidemic which started from Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province.
