New Caledonia has recorded another two cases of Covid-19 coronavirus, bringing its total to four.

The authorities say the two have been transferred to the isolation ward at the hospital.

More than 1000 people are in self-isolation in hotels while a further 800 are in self-isolation at home.

The international carrier Aircalin has released a schedule of flights to repatriate non-residents to France and Australia.

Today there will be a flight to Sydney and one to Tokyo with a connection to Paris.

The planes will return to Noumea without passengers.

The airline plans two more flights to Tokyo, one on Tuesday and one on Thursday.
