After the euphoria of finding his family’s names on a Canadian government list for a flight out came the chaotic journey to the airport in Wuhan. Quite an adventure!”A red cross truck is parked at the Yukon Lodge on CFB Trenton, where the passengers from the Wuhan evacuation flight to Canada will spend 14 days quarantined in Trenton, Canada. France, Britain, Spain and the United States and others have already evacuated some nationals from Wuhan on specially chartered flights. Wang said there were insufficient seats on the Canadian flight and that he had been allocated places on a US charter that was due to leave at 3.30am (1930 GMT) today.
