The Corona Virus

[outwoodclaret]

Sadly the Corona virus has now been declared a pandemic and the number of fatalities has exceeded the SARS outbreak. Sadly too map the last “rescue” flight back to the UK from Wuhan has arrived at RAF Brize Norton. I will keep posting updates here as and when further developments arise.

Hi Norder, no UK Official has contacted me.
My Manager sent me this message from Beijing;
"Hi Mark,On Feb. 7, Department of Education of Guangdong Province issued a notice on postponing the reopening time of schools. According to the notice, in light of the current epidemic prevention and control situation, schools at all levels and of all types in the province shall not reopen prior to late February to ensure the health and safety of students and teachers.
Also,people in Wuhan cannot leave now so we are still waiting for update.

I live in Hongshan District of Wuhan City, so, it seems that I will be going nowhere for at least 2 weeks....

thanks Map - just been reading, seems you have to register for evacuation.



Q: I’m currently in Wuhan/Hubei, concerned for my health and welfare and that of my loved ones, and wish to leave. Will the UK government help me to evacuate?

A: We are working on arrangements to evacuate any remaining British nationals from Hubei Province who wish to leave. There are commercial flights available for anyone in other areas of China.

A: Any British nationals in this region wishing to be evacuated who has not yet registered with us should do so immediately by calling our 24/7 consular emergency assistance hotline ..... .



but - only if you agree to submit to a 2 week detention.


Q: If I take an evacuation flight, will I be quarantined on arrival in the UK?

A: In order to protect public health, and the health and welfare of those boarding evacuation flights from Wuhan/Hubei, all British nationals and immediate family members travelling on these flights will be quarantined for 14 days following arrival. Your ability to contact friends and family during quarantine will not be restricted.


though make yor own way out - perhaps get checked over on your return - or keep yourself to yourself - and there's no need to be held captive !


Q: If I self-evacuate, will I be placed in quarantine in the UK on arrival?



A: No. People arriving from Wuhan and Hubei Province to the UK in the last 14 days should stay indoors and avoid contact with other people as you would with the flu, and call NHS 111 to inform them of your recent travel to the area. This applies even if you do not have symptoms of the virus.

The UK is not taking special measures regarding arrivals of any nationality from China beyond standard entry procedures. However, if you believe you may have been exposed to coronavirus or been in contact with another person exhibiting flu-like symptoms, you may wish to take precautions and self-quarantine for a minimum 7 days, also informing anyone you might be living with of your concerns.
