The seven Hungarians had decided they wanted to return home from Wuhan.
Hungary’s chief medical officer, Cecilia Müller, said the seven Hungarians would be quarantined in a Budapest hospital for 14 days, the virus’s maximum incubation period.
French television channel BFFM reported that the Hungarians were among 250 passengers on a French aircraft which arrived at the Istres airbase, in the south of France. There were 65 French nationals on board and citizens from another 30 countries.
