A child who has been quarantined and monitored for the novel coronavirus with 194 others at March Air Reserve Base has been taken to a hospital after developing a fever, Riverside County health officials said Tuesday. The child, accompanied by a parent, was taken by ambulance to Riverside University Health System Medical Center on Monday night. Samples will be submitted to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and results are expected later this week, officials said. “The child has no other symptoms or issues other than the temperature,” Riverside County Department of Public Health spokesman Jose Arballo Jr. said. There have been six confirmed cases of coronavirus in California, but none in Riverside County.
