Three dozen people evacuated from China to France showed symptoms of coronavirus, French Health Minister Agnes Buzyn said, but the 20 that remained on the tarmac at a French Air Force base later tested negative for the illness.

The evacuation flight ferried 254 people, a number from countries outside of France, from Wuhan to Europe on Sunday. Wuhan is the epicenter of the new coronavirus.
