Christmas Island residents and business owners have said that it’s “business as usual” on the island as a planeload of Wuhan evacuees arrive to go into quarantine.

More than 200 Australians flew into the small Australian territory in the Indian Ocean on Monday night after being evacuated from Wuhan, China—the epicentre of the coronavirus outbreak that has so far killed hundreds of people, mostly in mainland China.
