Coronavirus: Brazil evacuates 34 nationals from Wuhan

Group will be held in quarantine on an airbase in the mid-western state of Goiis

Brazilian nationals evacuated from Wuhan, the city at the centre of the coronavirus crisis, will land shortly in national territory and will be taken to an airforce base where they will be quarantined for 18 days.

The rescue comes after a video plea made to the far-right president Jair Bolsonaro last week. One of those in the video, Adrielly Eger, 18, a model, told the Band news network she was "very grateful".
