Indonesian airport officer wearing a face mask stands in front of the Batik Airbus A330-300t that was chartered for Indonesia Citizens Evacuation from Wuhan. No one displaying symptoms will be allowed on the flight from Wuhan, which will be staffed by St John paramedics, an Air New Zealand doctor and volunteer Air New Zealand flight crew. Director-General of Health Ashley Bloomfield said there was a chance some of the passengers will have the coronavirus. Clark said there was no date yet for the evacuation flight to take off but they're working to make it happen in the next few days, direct to Auckland. "We are now ready to bring New Zealand citizens home."
