A second Canadian plane has left the quarantined region of Hubei Province, China, this morning to bring home more Canadians who have asked to return from the centre of the Novel Coronavirus outbreak, the federal government says.

Foreign Affairs Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne said there was room for about 200 passengers aboard the flight from Wuhan.
