Despite the recent move by the Government to close its borders to travelers from the People\u2019s Republic of China, Health Minister Molwyn Joseph has shared Antiguan students in China are not affected by the travel ban.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cThey are always welcomed back home; we\u2019ll never turn back any of our citizens.\u201d said Joseph assuring the parents of students who study in China.<\/p>\n

However, Joseph added that the travel ban will be in place if they are infected by the coronavirus.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n

\u201cIf they are infected, we would not wish for them to come home with an infection,\u201d he said.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

One student will be returning to Antigua today and that student will go through the same procedures as the two Chinese who recently returned from Beijing and Guangzhou.<\/p>\n

According to Dr Anju Smith, students who decide to come back while the travel ban is still in effect, they will be subjected to rigorous testing.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cThey have to remember that when they do decide to come home, they will be observed, their movements will be restricted for that 14-day period and they have to remember that and we do need their corporation with that,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
