The first three cases of Coronavirus were reported among students from Kerala who returned from China’s Wuhan, which is the epicentre of the outbreak of the virus.

Following the outbreak in Kerala, the state government issued health warning and had declared a 'calamity.'

All three students were later discharged from the hospital after they recovered.

India earlier evacuated hundreds of people from China.
