Those released Tuesday are among 167 from Wuhan and Hubei Province who arrived Feb. 5
After two weeks pent up at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, the first group of coronavirus evacuees to arrive in San Diego finally got to leave Tuesday.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control said in a short statement that 166 of the 167 people who arrived from Wuhan, China, on Feb. 5 would depart for home Tuesday. One person on those first two flights tested positive for COVID-19 infection and remains in a UC San Diego Health hospital, as does a second who arrived on another flight that landed at Miramar on Feb. 7.
Confronted by a throng of media, many of the arrivals at the airport Tuesday morning declined to give their full names.One man, who gave his name as John, said he was heading back to Minnesota with his wife. They had both been in Wuhan visiting her family and, when factoring in the Chinese leg of their quarantine, had been isolated almost a month, he said.
“The accommodations were nice, the government treated us well,” he said. “It could have been better organized … maybe they’ll have a plan for the next one.” Kenneth Burnett, a San Diego father and husband who told of the frustration of being in San Diego while his family was so far away, flew to Sacramento so he could accompany his wife and kids home.
Wei said a staff member at the base regularly helped her with childcare so she could, among other things, take showers.Wei left her parents in Wuhan when she was evacuated by the U.S. State Department two weeks ago. She said she worries about them as the city of 11 million people continues to operate under quarantine.
