- Two planes carrying about 350 Americans out of Wuhan, China, arrived at an Air Force base in California on Wednesday as the United States stepped up efforts to bring its citizens home from the epicenter of the fast-spreading coronavirus outbreak.
The cargo jets landed at Travis Air Force Base, about midway between San Francisco and Sacramento, and one continued on to Miramar Marine Corps Air Station near San Diego after refueling. None of the 178 evacuees placed under quarantine at Travis showed signs of disease, except for a small child who developed a fever during the flight, said Dr. Henry Walke, director of preparedness for the CDC’s National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases.
“A safety cordon will be established, away from residential housing, to ensure the Travis mission can safely continue,” the statement said. In New Jersey, state Health Department officials said they quarantined an asymptomatic person who arrived at Newark Liberty International Airport on Tuesday after traveling to Hubei province, where Wuhan is located. The person will be monitored for symptoms for 14 days.
