Hong Kong has arranged four charter flights to bring back 533 of its residents from the Chinese province of Hubei, the centre of the coronavirus outbreak, Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam said on Tuesday. Lam said the flights would return on Wednesday and Thursday and those coming back would be quarantined for 14 days upon arrival. The announcement comes at about a month after countries around the world began evacuating their citizens.
