<p>The ban goes into effect on Thursday at midnight Moscow time, according to a decree signed by Russia’s Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.</p>
<p>The measure was taken due to “worsening epidemiological situation” in China.</p>

<p>So far, Russia has had only three confirmed cases of the Covid-19 disease caused by the virus — two Chinese citizens who have been treated and released and a Russian national who contracted the illness aboard the Diamond Princess cruise ship quarantined in Japan.</p>
<p>Still, Russian authorities have taken vast measures to prevent the spread of the virus, including hospitalising hundreds of people who returned from China as a precaution.</p>
<p>Russia has also halted most air traffic to China, suspended all trains to China and North Korea and closed its land border with China and Mongolia.</p>
<p>Moscow has also temporarily stopped issuing work visas to Chinese citizens and told Chinese students who had been studying in Russia not to return until March 1.</p>
<p>Earlier this month, Mr Mishustin also said that Russia may start deporting the foreigners infected with the virus.</p>
<p>The virus, which emerged in central China in December, has killed 1,868 patients in mainland China and five others elsewhere.</p>
<p>China has instituted a strict lockdown on over 60 million people in central Hubei province and other nations are taking their own measures — including mandatory 14-day quarantines — to stop the virus from getting established on their territory.</p>
