Govt. May Pay For Charter Flights From Wuhan
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has hinted that the government may shoulder the costs of chartered flights to bring back Japanese nationals from Wuhan. The Chinese city is at the center of the new coronavirus outbreak.
Abe made the suggestion at a Lower House budget committee meeting on Friday.
Previously, the government was considering charging each returnee the equivalent of about 730 dollars in airfare.
