Israeli man gets permit to leave coronavirus-struck Hubei province in China

The Israeli embassy in Beijing says it has successfully pulled an Israeli man out of the coronavirus-struck Hubei province in central China.

Tomer Zevulun was visiting a rural village in Hubei where he was interested in studying Kung Fu, according to officials.

Israeli officials helped him obtain permits to leave the province, which has been under closure since the deadly virus began spreading through the area.

He boarded a plane to Ukraine a short time ago, where he will board another plane home to Israel.
