Right. The entire foreign student body at NUFS in Nagoya were dispatched home over the course of a week. That's more than 600 people alone. Never mind temporary workers there on business, holiday makers and so on.
French citizens, I think, were recalled by their government, some American universities told students that their insurance and student policies stated that in cases where national emergency was declared they had to pull them back home just in case, and by that point roughly over half the student body was leaving so NUFS pulled the plug for that year's programme. Besides, they had probably other concerns like their native student body to look after.
