Australia Foreign Minister Marise Payne said diplomatic staff are working with Chinese authorities in an effort to get Australian citizens out of the Chinese city dubbed ‘ground zero’ in the deadly coronavirus outbreak.
Australian ABC News has confirmed that up to 100 Australian children are currently trapped in that area, which is now in lockdown as the death toll from the virus climbed above 50.
The ABC reported that all of these children aged from six months to 16 years old are Australian citizens, and most of them were in Wuhan to celebrate the Lunar New Year holiday with their families.
The United States is reportedly trying to evacuate its citizens from the city using a chartered flight and France is also trying to get people out of the region.
In another development, New South Wales Health said they have one more probable case of coronavirus in Sydney, with three confirmed cases in NSW and one in Victoria.
