KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 31): More than a dozen Chinese workers at a 'Belt and Road' train project in Malaysia who had gone home to Wuhan for the Lunar New Year, have been told not to return until further notice, head of ECRL rail project owner said on Friday.

Malaysia Rail Link (MRL) chief executive officer Darwis Abdul Razak said the company had set up an emergency response plan before the festivities and the decision for the 13 Chinese nationals was in line with the government's temporary travel ban on citizens from Wuhan and Hubei, The Star Online reported.
