U.S. imposes 14-day coronavirus quarantine on group in California evacuated from Wuhan
The U.S. government has imposed a federal quarantine on 195 people who were evacuated Wednesday from Wuhan, China, to a California military base, officials said Friday.
Until Friday, the detention was unofficial and the group stayed at the base voluntarily, except for one member, who tried to leave Wednesday and was quarantined by Riverside County. More than 100 people in the United States are being monitored as “patients under investigation,” because they have symptoms like fever and cough and have been to Wuhan or in contact with patients.
Story continuesGerman physicians who identified the first coronavirus case in their country have reported that the patient was infected by a colleague visiting from China who was not yet sick herself. Before he became ill, he had met with a Chinese business partner from his company near Munich, on Jan. 20 and 21. She was a resident of Shanghai who had been in Germany from Jan. 19-22. Though she was healthy during the visit, she got sick during her flight back to China, where she tested positive for the new coronavirus on Jan. 26. She informed her company, which traced her contacts to alert anyone she might have exposed.
