Australians still in Wuhan say they are in the dark about whether or not the Australian Government will organise more evacuation flights.

According to Brian, when he contacted the Australian embassy after hearing about Australians being placed on a second flight heading to New Zealand, he was told only the people who were selected were being told about the flight."Instead of being kept in the dark over the whole evacuation."Another Australian in Wuhan, Drew, said he had only been contacted by the Australian Government once asking to confirm if he was interested in leaving on an evacuation flight.

"After I told them I have a friend that's leaving tomorrow morning [the spokesperson] just told me that there's no flight planned yet after this one but they will try their best."Earlier today, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said diplomatic officials were"working closely" with their Chinese counterparts to develop options for the departure of the Australians who remain in Wuhan and the greater Hubei province.
