Crisis Unit organises flight to repatriate Italian citizens from Wuhan

The Farnesina Crisis Unit, in close coordination with the Ministry of Defence, the Ministry of Health and the National Institute for Infectious Diseases “Lazzaro Spallanzani”, is organising a flight operated by the Interforce Summit Operations Command to repatriate Italian citizens stranded in Wuhan, the Chinese city most affected by the new coronavirus. The aircraft, scheduled to depart from Italy tomorrow once the necessary Chinese authorisations have been obtained, will reach Wuhan airport directly, with specialist medical personnel, nurses and adequate medical equipment on board to ensure safe transport. Upon arrival in Italy, the compatriots, will follow a health protocol defined by the Ministry of Health.
