Two of three infected evacuees have no symptoms

Japan's health ministry has confirmed the first two cases of coronavirus infection without any symptoms in the country.

The ministry confirmed that three evacuees from the Chinese city of Wuhan have the new type of coronavirus.

The three individuals were among the 206 passengers who returned to Japan on Wednesday on a government-chartered flight.

A man in his 40s and a woman in her 50s do not have any signs of infection, but they have tested positive.

Another man in his 50s reported pain in his throat and later developed a fever before testing positive.

The number of people in Japan who've been infected now stands at 11.
