A Fijian student quarantined at a New Zealand military base says she is happy to be out of Wuhan - the Chinese epicentre of the coronavirus.

Sylvia Nandani was among 193 people evacuated by New Zealand last week.

Ms Nandani had only arrived in Wuhan from Beijing two weeks before the outbreak and says the whole experience has been overwhelming.
