Operation Wuhan: How US and Japan planned evacuations of citizens
TOKYO/NEW YORK – When the crew of Kalitta Air flight K4371 announced "Welcome home to the United States" upon arriving at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport in Alaska on Wednesday morning, the "whole plane erupted in cheers," said Dr. Anne Zink, Alaska's chief medical officer who was in charge of screening the passengers.
The cargo plane was fitted with temporary seats for U.S. diplomats, their families and a few American citizens who returned from Wuhan, a city in central China with a population of 11 million. The plane arrived in Alaska after a nine-and-a-half-hour flight. While it was only for refueling, there is little doubt that passengers were relieved.
When the plane reached its final destination at a military base in California after another five hours in the air, it joined an All Nippon Airways plane at Tokyo's Haneda Airport on Wednesday morning after the successful evacuation of citizens from Wuhan, the epicenter of the deadly virus.
But many aspects of the operations changed up until the last minute, including the destinations and number of planes. With little experience dealing with similar situations, governments faced unexpected hurdles, such as when two Japanese passengers refused health checkups upon arrival. They headed straight to their homes, igniting a barrage of criticism on social media as fears continued to grow over the virus that has sickened at least 6,000 people worldwide and killed more than 130 in mainland China.
Australia, France, the U.K., Germany, Canada and Russia are also arranging similar evacuations, each with differing lengths and methods of quarantining passengers until they are given the all clear.
Among other countries planning to evacuate their citizens, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has said that evacuees will initially be sent to Christmas Island, a remote Australian island near Indonesia, to be quarantined for two weeks.
The use of an immigration detention center on the island to prevent evacuees from mixing with the general public stands in contrast to Japan's measures. The U.K., which plans to repatriate its citizens from Wuhan on Thursday morning, also plans to isolate evacuees at a military base for around two weeks, according to the BBC.
Part of Japan's hesitation to forcefully quarantine its citizens stems from its past, when the government for years kept leprosy patients in compulsory seclusion, despite disease's low risk of transmission. "We have to think of human rights when handling infectious diseases," a health ministry official said.
The Kalitta Air flight departed Wuhan's Tianhe International Airport with a pilot dressed in full protective gear, a photo from China's Xinhua News Agency shows.
Kalitta is part of a company that has been flying special missions for the U.S. government for decades. The company has taken part in disaster relief efforts, including major hurricanes and 9/11, according to the Kalitta Charters website. It has also transported casualties of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
After its stop in Alaska, the plane arrived at the March Air Reserve Base near Riverside, California. The evacuation flight was initially announced as heading to San Francisco, but was changed to Ontario International Airport, a civilian airport near Los Angeles, before finally being rerouted to a military base. Meanwhile, ANA flight NH1952 carrying 206 Japanese nationals from Wuhan was Japan's first mass evacuation of its citizens from abroad to escape a disease outbreak.
The second flight of Wuhan evacuees arrived in Tokyo on Thursday morning, with 210 passengers. All will be screened and any exhibiting symptoms will be immediately hospitalized.
Health ministry officials confirmed on Thursday that three evacuees from the first flight were carrying the coronavirus.
The evacuations were the culmination of a week of intense preparations.
After Wuhan entered lockdown last Thursday, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe had local officials from the Japan External Trade Organization begin gathering information on employees of Japanese companies seeking to return home.
Abe met with cabinet ministers the following day, calling on them to make every possible effort to ensure Japanese citizens' safety. He urged Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi to open talks with the Chinese government about what measures to take, including a potential evacuation.
Officials weighed multiple possibilities, including chartered planes as well as buses to ferry people out of Wuhan and onto commercial flights from other airports.
