More than 200 people are already quarantined at the Howard Springs facility after being evacuated from Wuhan, the central Chinese city that is the epicentre of the viral outbreak. The new group will be kept separate from the Wuhan evacuees, who remain in good health, Di Stephens, acting chief health officer of the Northern Territory, of which Darwin is the capital, said before the flight left Japan. "These people need to go into quarantine because we are not entirely convinced that the quarantine procedures on that ship were 100% effective," Stephens said. "They"ll be completely separated at the facility, they"ll have separate medical staff looking after them and separate support staff in that quarantine zone." 1:25am South Korea reports 31 new cases South Korea reported 31 new cases of coronavirus on Thursday, bringing the number of people infected in the country to 82, Korea"s Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) said in a statement.
