Australia`s government is also discussing sending another charter flight from wuhan, but prime minister scott morrison warned long ago that australians stranded in china might not be able to guarantee a new charter flight and called for a national to take a commercial flight to leave china.
Some 600 australians initially registered evacuation flights, but some later decided to stay in wuhan.
Mr morrison today called on australians who are still in china to take the existing australian-chinese flight leave china from qantas as soon as possible.
Qantas also has flights from Beijing and Shanghai, but they will also be suspended this Sunday.
"Australians in China`s mainland should not assume that Australia will arrange charter flights as it did in Wuhan," Morrison said. "
"I make it clear Qantas has a flight before February 9 and [in China] should seize the opportunity. "
Britain`s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has made a simpler and ruder statement, warning its citizens today that "if you are in China and capable of having a leave, go. "
Although Australia hopes to send another Qantas charter flight to China this weekend, only about 350 Australians are now eligible to leave in Hubei.
Thank you for your restraint in Australia
On the other hand, despite a number of racist and other "provocative incidents" in Australia, Morrison today thanked the responsible behaviour of the Australian Chinese community.
Asked Wednesday about his reaction to the taunts of the Chinese against other members of society, Morrison replied:" You guys are fantastic! "
"While there have been some grave and reprehensible provocations, you are mutually supportive and you are responsible for your actions. "
Morrison also praised the Australian Chinese for isolating themselves when infected with the new corona virus to prevent the virus from spreading.
"Together with all Australians, you observe and take seriously your responsibilities. "
By midday Wednesday,14 new cases of coronary pneumonia had been diagnosed across Australia, three of them recovering and discharged.
The latest case is an eight-year-old South China Sea from Wuhan who is currently being treated at a hospital in Kunzhou.
It is reported that he followed the tour group in Australia at the end of January. Two people were also diagnosed with the new coronavirus, one 44-year-old man and one 42-year-old woman. The state health department has been contacting other passengers on related flights to prevent the spread of the virus.
There are currently three confirmed cases in the state of Kunming, four in the state of Victoria and four in the state of New State and two in South Australia.
Meanwhile,35 australian citizens and permanent residents took a new zealand charter flight to wuhan on wednesday. There are also 98 New Zealanders and others on board.
The charter flight will land in Auckland and then the Australians will also be sent to Christmas Island, off WA`s north-west coast, where they will be quarantined for 14 days along with some 241 Australians who had previously been placed there.
The first Australian evacuees from Wuhan arrived in mainland from Wuhan on Monday on a charter flight from Qantas, and then were transferred to the island for quarantine on Monday and Tuesday in four batches. One of the expectant mothers and her husband were sent to Perth because there was no maternity ward on Christmas Island.
So far, no new cases of coronavirus have been diagnosed among Australians isolated on Christmas Island.
Air New Zealand`s flight is expected to land in Auckland at around 4.30 BST.
