Ireland is hoping to securing seats on a French evacuation flight for a small number of Irish citizens living in China who are concerned about the coronavirus, the government said.
The foreign affairs minister, Simon Coveney, added efforts were being made to help those who wanted to leave.
“We have spoken to our French colleagues and we are hopeful and confident that we can secure a seat on planes that would take Irish citizens who want to leave out.
“Then, when they arrive back in Europe they will have to go through the appropriate health measures to ensure that they are not carrying infection and their healthcare needs are being looked after as they should be.”
“We are working on that process and I am confident that we can support any Irish citizen anywhere in China, but particularly in the region concerned, we can support them if they want to leave we can find a way of getting them out, working with other EU countries who are more than happy to help.”
