Around 150 Britons stranded in Wuhan by the coronavirus outbreak will be quarantined for two weeks in a facility on the Wirral after they are flown back to the UK, Sky News understands.
The flight to evacuate them from the Chinese city and the province of Hubei has been rescheduled - as new details of the plan to isolate them upon their return emerged.
The Britons were due to leave Wuhan - the epicentre of the deadly outbreak - on Thursday morning but the plane was not able to take off as Chinese authorities had not yet given clearance.
The flight is now expected to depart the city on Friday at 7am local time (11pm GMT on Thursday) and is due to land at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire on Friday morning - thought to be around 10.45am.
The plane, which was chartered from a Spanish company, will also evacuate around 50 Europeans, and will then fly on to Spain.
