Government agencies gather beside buses to be used to take evacuees to a quarantine facility.

Since Feb 3, the Diamond Princess, owned by Carnival Corp, has been quarantined at Yokohama, south of the capital, Tokyo, with 220 Australian holidaymakers among the 3,700 aboard initially. “The continuing coronavirus infections in mainland China make it necessary to continue the travel restrictions on foreign nationals entering Australia for a further week to Feb 29,” Morrison said in a statement.

“There were six people off that plane identified as having minor sniffles and sore throat that we have separated completely,” Stephens told reporters in Darwin.Earlier, television images showed a Qantas Airways plane chartered to evacuate the Australians arriving in Darwin just before 10am.
