NEW DELHI, February 17: Indians who were air-lifted from Wuhan following the out-break of the deadly novel cornavirus, wait to collect release certificates before leaving from the ITBP quarantine facility, at Chhawla, near Nazafgarh. The Indian government had evacuated 650 Indians and seven Maldivians from Wuhan after the outbreak of the deadly coronavirus. Since then, for many of them, a makeshift camp created by the ITBP had been their home. Nearly 200 residents were given okay to leave the camp. Among them were students, professors, Yoga teachers and businesspersons
