SHANGHAI/SEOUL - Several countries began isolating hundreds of citizens evacuated from the Chinese city of Wuhan in an effort to stop the global spread of an epidemic which has killed 170, with South Korea calling for calm in the face of protests at a quarantine center.

The virus emerged last month in a live wild animal market in the provincial capital Wuhan.The World Health Organization said its Emergency Committee would reconvene behind closed doors on Thursday to decide whether the rapid spread of the new virus from China now constitutes a global emergency.
South Korean protesters used tractors to block access to facilities earmarked as quarantine centers in the cities of Asan and Jincheon, about 80 km south of Seoul, on Wednesday.See more stories Singapore’s foreign ministry said it was returning 92 Singaporeans from Wuhan on Thursday.
