A Bangladeshi student, who recently returned from coronavirus-hit Wuhan city in China, has praised and thanked the Chinese government for taking care of them amid the outbreak.

The government is looking to see what it can do for the 171 Bangladesh citizens from Hubei province of China who have registered to return home amid coronavirus outbreak there.

Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen said the government has planned to bring back 370 registered Bangladesh citizens from Wuhan city of China on Saturday.   "If the Chinese government allows us and gives clearance, we might bring them back on Saturday," he told UNB over phone on Thursday night.
