Health departments in four of the 10 U.S. states where airports are screening passengers for coronavirus exposure said they had not taken any people into quarantine since the new travel rules took effect on Feb. 2. Foreign nationals who have visited China within 14 days – the outer incubation period of the virus – are barred from entering the United States. U.S. airlines Delta, United and American Airlines have suspended all flights between the United States and China. It’s not meant to hermetically seal the United States from the virus,” Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar told a press conference on Friday. Georgia said it was prepared to quarantine passengers, without providing further comment.
