Four U.S. military bases in California, Colorado and Texas were selected Saturday to house up to 1,000 Americans expected to be placed under quarantine upon arrival from China where they will be examined for up to one month for signs of the coronavirus. The Defense Department is only responsible for providing lodging, Joint Base San Antonio said in a Facebook update. Military personnel with not interact directly with those evacuated from China, the Los Angeles Times reported. The group had been evacuated from Wuhan to the southern California base earlier in the week. Beginning Sunday, all U.S. bound flights from China will be funneled to seven major airports where passengers will undergo medical screenings for possible signs of the coronavirus.
