Recently returned students said that thousands of Pakistani students are in trouble in China. They have not been contacted by the embassy, neither any arrangements are being made for their safe evacuation from China.
The students further stated that the city where they were based in China did not have the effects of the coronavirus, but they were thoroughly screened in China while their fever was checked at Lahore Airport.
