Starting Sunday, all flights from China will be routed through seven airports, where there will be enhanced health screening. Seven people in the United States have been diagnosed with the virus, including a Northern California man who was diagnosed Friday. Health officials had recently expanded screening to 20 U.S. airports, but now say they will do enhanced screening at seven airports. ADThe temporary lull in air traffic will allow U.S. officials to work out the logistics of how to funnel all incoming flights from China to the seven airports. On Friday, however, they said the State Department’s announcement Thursday evening that it was raising its China travel advisory to Level 4, its highest level of caution, prompted them to reevaluate.
