Scores of Malaysians were evacuated from the virus-stricken Chinese city of Wuhan and flown home to Kuala Lumpur early Tuesday.

The AirAsia evacuation flight contained 133 people, including 107 Malaysians and non-Malaysian family members, 12 crew and 14 officials.

All the passengers were taken to a separate building at the airport for screening.
