Russia’s aerospace defense forces, part of the armed forces, will start evacuating Russian citizens on Saturday from China due to the coronavirus outbreak, news agencies reported, citing the Kremlin spokesman.
Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters the evacuation would take place in regions that had been most affected by the outbreak, Interfax and TASS news agencies reported.
Russia joins other countries in evacuating their citizens from China, where the number of cases of the new virus is rising.
Deputy Prime Minister Tatiana Golikova said on Friday that Russia planned to evacuate more than 600 of its citizens now in Wuhan and Hubei province, the epicenter of the outbreak in China, and they will be quarantined for 14 days.
Russia has already reported its first two cases of coronavirus and restricted direct flights to China, its biggest trade partner.

One can only hope for a mass outbreak of coronavirus in the invaded parts of Ukraine. Let Muscovy evacuate their citizens.
Israeli news reported it’s an experimental virus from a bioweapons lab in Wuhan. They say the spreading is unstoppable.
Anyway, was nice knowing you guys. 😂
That sounds more like the truth, but we’ll never know.
Russia to the rescue! LOL
Maybe this is the beginning of the Chinese annexation? This would be the time to do it…
Why are Muscovy so paranoid about this virus, according to them the CIA created it just so it affects Chinks? LMAO
The Moskali will probably try to put it in a bottle and send some to Great Britain…
No doubt they will, once the asset freezes on Russians takes effect. I can see a lot of laundered cash leaving London very shortly.
Kind of a toss up…… which is more dangerous ? Corona virus or Russian aircraft .
Maybe those that the Ruskies bring back to mafia land are contaminated. Would that be bad?
