ASAN/SEOUL: Hundreds of South Koreans flown home on a charter flight from China were greeted with welcome signs as they arrived at quarantine centres where nearby residents had staged vehement protests only a day before.

The 368 South Koreans were transported to two facilities in Asan and Jincheon, cities about 80km south of capital Seoul, where they will be isolated.
