(ANSA-AFP) - KIEV, 21 FEB - Ukraine's health minister said
she will spend two weeks in quarantine with evacuees from
coronavirus-hit China after protesters clashed with police and
threw stones at returnees over infection fears. Kiev's efforts
to treat 45 nationals and 37 foreigners, mostly from Latin
America, in the central Poltava region sparked unrest Thursday
as residents blocked roads and hurled stones at buses carrying
the evacuees. "I will spend the next 14 days with them, in the
same premises, under the same conditions," Health Minister
Zoryana Skaletska said late Thursday in a statement addressed to
the residents of Novi Sanzhary. The minister added that she was
shaken by the panic and aggression.(ANSA-AFP).
