Mr Chen, who is in Sydney, says he’s “extremely concerned” for the safety of his wife Amy, who is among the Australian citizens and permanent residents awaiting evacuation from Wuhan to Christmas Island.
"We found that the Chinese authorities imposed travelling restrictions that stopped her from travelling on the assisted departure flight," he said. “Evacuation is a good thing to ease the burden of heavy load on the medical system in Wuhan, which is also a good thing for the safety of the people.
