Several other large cities in China have introduced their own travel restrictions in a bid to contain the disease, which has killed 56 people and infected nearly 2,000 others. “We want to be evacuated as soon as possible, because either the virus, the hunger or the fear will kill us,” Jamalzai said. “The situation in Wuhan right now is very intense and worrying,” the 25-year-old Indonesian told AFP, adding that the situation had taken a psychological toll on her and her classmates. Mawaddah said she had heard the United States plans to evacuate consular staff and some American citizens living in the city, and hoped her own government could do the same.
But she said she didn’t want to leave on the chartered flight if it meant carrying the virus back home. South Korea’s consulate general in Wuhan conducted a poll on Sunday to determine the demand for a chartered plane for its citizens who want to return home, while Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said his country would fly out any nationals who wanted to leave.
