The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cleared passengers aboard a U.S. government chartered plane from Wuhan, China, that arrived at March Air Reserve Base in Southern California on Wednesday. The plane, carrying 210 U.S. citizens, had landed in Anchorage, Alaska, on Tuesday to refuel on its way to California. The U.S. government was evacuating citizens due to the growing spread of coronavirus in Wuhan. CDC said passengers will be screened for any signs of illness and procedures are in place to transport the individuals to a local civilian hospital.
