On Thursday, Jaishankar had also said that no person can be brought back into the country if they are untested as the nation's health security has to be ensured during a severe epidemic situation and that the spread of the virus is prevented by a very detailed tracking procedure.
He said that no foreign national would be banned from coming into the country, but people from certain countries might have to go through quarantine first while answering a question on Indians stuck in Iran.
