[Sign up for our daily newsletter about news from California.] SAN FRANCISCO — A third confirmed case of coronavirus in California was announced on Friday, raising new questions about the state’s vulnerability in the outbreak on the same day the federal government imposed a 14-day quarantine for the 195 people who arrived on an evacuation flight from Wuhan, China. The federal government also announced that foreign nationals who have traveled to China will temporarily not be allowed to enter the United States; that restriction does not apply to immediate family of American citizens and permanent residents. The quarantine in California will keep the group at the March Air Reserve Base in Riverside for 14 days to make sure nobody is infected with the coronavirus, the authorities said. In a sign of the heightened precautions against contagion, the flight crew on the aircraft that evacuated the group from China wore hazmat suits.
