China evacuee describes life under quarantine

A teenage model who was repatriated from the Chinese city of Wuhan to Brazil has expressed her relief for being evacuated from the epicentre of a new viral outbreak.

18-year-old Adrielly Eger has been transferred along with 34 other people to the Anapolis airbase, in the Brazilian state of Goias, where she will remain in quarantine for two weeks.

Eger was in Wuhan for a three-month modeling contract that came to an end as Chinese authorities called for a quarantine.

Anxious to leave the epicentre of the viral outbreak, dozens of Brazilian citizens joined forces and pleaded in a video for the administration of President Jair Bolsonaro to repatriate them.

Now back in Brazil, all have passed a series of health exams - none have shown any symptoms of the virus.

The hotel hosting them inside the military base complex has been equipped with internet, phones, leisure areas and individual rooms for all 34 of them - mostly Brazilians and in some cases their foreign parents.

Brazil has had no confirmed cases of the new coronavirus and is still investigating a few suspect cases, according to the health ministry.
