Officials on Rapa Nui, or Chilean administered Easter Island, are being cautious to avoid further cases of Covid-19 as repatriation flights begin from the mainland.
507 islanders returned to the island over the weekend.
However, 25 people were refused travel when Covid-19 symptoms were discovered by Rapa Nui officials.
