Further tests have confirmed none of the passengers evacuated from Wuhan are infected with the Novel Coronavirus.

Nearly 160 people rescued from the Chinese city are settling in for their two week stay, under quarantine, at the military base in the Auckland suburb of Whangaparāoa.

At a community meeting last night health officials said if anyone under quarantine tested positive, their time at the base will be extended.

Mackenzie Smith was at the meeting.
