Travel plans cancelled, bio-security in place: Australia prepares for possible corona-virus arrival

Prime Minister Scott Morrison says Australia's health system is well equipped to deal with an outbreak of the coronavirus, should it be confirmed here. Passengers arriving from China's Wuhan [[woo-hahn]] region are to undergo screening at Sydney Airport from Thursday. The rapid spread of the disease has some Chinese Australians cancelling their Lunar New Year travel plans.
