By Barry Ellsworth

TRENTON, Canada (AA) - Canada said Wednesday it will send a plane to fly Canadians out of the Wuhan, China, the epicenter of a recent coronavirus outbreak.

Health Minister Patty Hajdu said, however, the government has not come up with a plan to keep passengers away from others to prevent the spread of the virus when they arrive in Canada.

Canada is also working with China and allies to coordinate the removal of the 160 Canadians who have asked for help to come home.
