"We have to get one more result of the samples that have been sent. So far all the samples that have been tested here have been negative. Kerala has made all the preparations to tackle this virus," Ali said.

 

"While screening of all passengers arriving at the Cochin airport began on Sunday, similar facilities are now in place at the Thiruvananthapuram airport, starting from today," added Ali.

The authorities have asked all those people who were in China, and have returned to the state starting January 1, to see that they seek proper medical attention in case of any need.

Meanwhile, a student from Kerala in China's Wuhan said that they are unable to move out as all modes of transport from the location have been banned and, hence, they have to stay put in the province.
