'We were not able to move freely, so we only had partial information.'

Japanese citizens evacuated from the epicentre of a deadly virus outbreak described an atmosphere of fear and confusion in the Chinese city and expressed relief as they arrived in Tokyo on Wednesday.

The health ministry said seven more people who showed flu-like symptoms during checkups later at a disease prevention centre would also be admitted to hospitals. "The number of patients began increasing rapidly at a certain point. That was very worrying," he told reporters at the airport. Takayuki Kato, who worked in Wuhan for the firm Intec, said the atmosphere inside the city changed as the scale of the crisis became clear.

"Usually it takes one to two days but this is a new virus so we haven't been able to process enough tests," he said.
