Stuck in Wuhan, Indians denied entry to Beijing with 'passports blocked' even after 50 days' isolation/quarantine

Indian passengers who travelled to Chinese city of Wuhan, the epicenter of COVID-19 pandemic, by VBM flight on 30th October with 'Beijing' as their destination are in limbo as Chinese authorities have not yet unblocked their passports to enable them to travel to Beijing city, either by flight or train.<br />'' <br />''After completing their quarantine, they came to know that their passports were blocked once they were detected positive upon arriving in Wuhan. However, this restriction is only for Beijing and they can travel to any other Chinese city. AIR correspondent reports  Indian families have already completed more than 50 days of quarantine period against the stipulated 28 days and are carrying 10 negative test reports from local authorities but all in vain. Their health code status in the health kit is still 'Red' and not being changed to 'Green' by Chinese health authorities, especially for capital Beijing.<br />'' <br />'' After Wuhan health officials gave clearance, it should have been automatically changed in the health kit.<br />'' <br />''<span style="color: #222222;">Chinese Foreign Ministry said it is not aware of the case. Another Indian who came to Wuhan on the 30th October flight and faced a similar situation has since returned to India last week with his family in view of lack of any assurance from Chinese authorities to allow them to enter Beijing.</span>
