Australia confirms fifth coronavirus case from last flight out of Wuhan
Australia has confirmed its fifth case of the novel coronavirus, a 21-year-old woman who was on the last flight out of Wuhan to Sydney before China imposed a travel ban.
She developed symptoms within 24 hours of arrival and was immediately put into isolation.
The virus, believed to have originated in a wildlife market in Wuhan, has killed 80 people and infected over 2,700, the vast majority in China.
Australia's first four cases, one in Melbourne and three in Sydney, were confirmed on Saturday.
Health officials are tracing a couple of low-level contacts related to the latest case.
Australian officials are also working with Chinese authorities on how to evacuate about 100 Australian children and young people out of Wuhan.
