This includes checking, temperature and observing for respiratory symptoms.

Medical screening will continue for the remainder of their quarantine and throughout their quarantine we will be following CDC guidance for infection control.

Anyone showing signs of illness during the pointy period will be transported to a nearby medical facility for isolation, evaluation and care as needed.

We know this situation maybe concern to people to Travis Air Force Base Community based on our experience with other Corona viruses.

We don't believe these people pose a risk to this community because we're taking measures to minimize any exposure's rich with Corona.

Virus is person to person stall to occur mainly through via respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes similar to how influenza or other respiratory pathogens spread.

These droplets can land in the mouse or noses of people who are nearby and possibly be inhaled into the lungs.

There may be some spread that happens through close contact or touching a contaminated surface, but it's not thought to be the main way of spread the public health measures.

CDC and the federal government are taken, including this quarantine for science based.

We're taking this action to help protect the health and safety of all Americans.

CDC staff has have spoken with the evacuees at Travis Air Force Base.

We explained to them that CDC, under statutory authority of the HHS secretary, has issued a barrel Federal 14 orders for all 178 passengers.

The quarantine will last 14 days from when the plane left on China.

14 days is the longest incubation period ever observed with Ramona Viruses.

This legal order is part of our aggressive public health response and will also protect the health of the individuals as well as their families and their communities.

The goal of our public health response is to detect cases quickly and prevent further spread of this new virus in the U.

S.

This is the first time in more than 50 years that CDC has issued a Florence and order Well, we understand this action racing drastic To some, our goal today tomorrow always continues to be the safety of the American public.

While we recognize this is an unprecedented action, we're facing an unprecedented public health threat.

This is one of the tools in our toolbox to mitigate the potential impact of this novel virus from the United States.

Before I take questions, I would like to reiterate that everyone has a role to play.

As we work together to contain the spread of this virus, everyone should stay in four.

CDC is updating his website daily with the latest information and advice for the public.

Additionally, remember to take everyday preventive actions that we always recommend to prevent the spread of respiratory viruses.

We have extensive guidance and information on our CDC website.

We recommend visiting the site regularly for updates.

We'd be happy to take your questions.

Don't walk how concerned people across you be right.

We think the risk to the American public is love.

That's why we're taking these aggressive measures to maintain this low risk.

Should people be raising out of my past?

No way.

Don't believe it's warranted to buy mask in General Doctor.

Yes.

In general, you are the 178 people who work here.

Travis is business people in a government.

Um I don't know.

They occupational backgrounds.

They are people who Warren who?

A province had this exposure and their mix of people with various backgrounds.

But the government down this government, they're not necessarily government people, unlike the first plane where there were a majority, were a number of government officials on that plane.

Yes, Claire.

So just so people understand, none of these people show any sentence at this point.

Before, during there was one small child fever on the flight and is being evaluated now at a nearby hospital.

What type of their day in, day out now, just in the next 40 days, where they're being house and medical provisions taken.

Now, Thank you for the question.

They're being handles.

Travis Air Force Base housing that is restricted has restricted movement because they're under quarantine.

There is an outdoor space, they each family has an individual room and they're offered food.

On service's wraparound service is to provide their comfort, but they'll have to stay under quarantine for 14 days.

They don't then pass it on to other people that are in that area.

That's correct.

Remember all of these people who are under quarantine or don't have symptoms, but we're super monitoring them where they're maintaining levels of separation or social distancing, but they do have access to regular service is food.

We have a contractor contractor service is to do these types of necessary service is and we're also providing guidance on infection prevention and control for this.

Yes, please.

For what?

Age eight.

Let me take your second question of the ages range from less than two all the way to over 64.

I really don't want to get into the details of of the specific ages of the child.

Just protect their identity as well as I don't want to get into details of which facility separated from everybody else on the plane.

It's a it's a it's a airplane and so as much as possible.

But it is an airplane.

So But let me say again, Children have fever for a number of different reasons.

So the child is being evaluated.

This point on it will be put in isolation and tested this one, and that one of the procedures for no question about it, service is provided also, or if someone Phil, I was go.

So if someone becomes ill and so you're aware we're monitoring their health on a regular basis, we're doing twice daily health assessments in temperature checks.

And if someone becomes ill, will do an evaluation.

And if we feel it's warranted, then that person will be separated from the community and put into to consent to a nearby health care facility and worked up for tested but from Corona viruses.

But for other infectious diseases that may have called, I mean is wanting their Matthew.

Everyone is not in the has meant to conditions and general practitioners all around this country every day take care of patients with respiratory diseases, and these facilities have the appropriate isolation brains to take care of these patients.

Can you talk about the facilities like you guys have been in constant communication with a case of those evacuees transfer to a nearby facility.

We've been in touch with state and local public health authorities and reached out to help care facilities to gauge their capability to receive such patients.

Both adults and pediatric patients elected to first get on this flight.

That right so these air Department of State has made a decision about actually there is is that they live in or they had exposure to the province where there's this intense community transmission of the novel Corona viruses.

So these air people with American citizens through have been exposed or lived in an area where there's community transmission of the Corona viruses.

Now, now we're bringing in.

What about the flight crew on planes?

So they quarantined as well.

The flight crew used protective equipment either on the plane.

And so they're not being quarantined.

Way go here they come back.

You said that these people are very glad to be here.

They've gone through a lot.

You expand on that?

What, exactly they been coming days?

Well, you can imagine there's a lot of information in fear about this particular emerging disease.

So they had to wait to get onto the flights and then when they got on.

So there is a number of people who want to get on the flights.

That was this really is a Department of State.

It was who actually got on the flights.

But as you can imagine, it's a long flight more than 11 hours.

And because of the unknown nature with this girl there, there's uncertainty, and that creates some stress as well.

So they arrived in the middle of the night after a long flight and so we welcome them to the U S.

There was applause when they walk through the door.

Frankly, it was a very emotional experience.

The first family through the door.

So they were very happy and smiling to be home.

Obviously tired.

They were processed through some screening and passed through customs and given food.

Yeah, put on buses and sent to the house and talking about the two year old now parents with child.

And who's paying for all this?

I didn't say the age of the child to be clear.

And a parent did accompany that child to the hospital.

We don't want to separate, so they're concerned.

Parent is also you may have it.

The mother, the parent, it was It was accompanying the child.

I will also be placed on appropriate isolation in the health care facility.

Dr.

Walking, spread the virus.

Sure.

We don't have documentation that this could have.

Is it possible?

Yes.

We do not think this is the, um this is driving the outbreak.

Obviously this is emerging virus.

So we're still learning more and more every day.

The majority of spreads I've said, is through droplet transmission.

So is it possible to have transmission without symptoms that we think it happens very real.

But I would never say never said I'm sorry, I need a ride.

Take your second question first.

After observation for 14 days, these evacuees don't develop symptoms.

Then they will be released in return.

Hopefully back to there communities and impairments so way will assist them, too.

Your first question again was my question.

I think that I really can't answer that question.

I'm sort of dealing with what's what's happening today.

You learn that the small child in isolation and undergoing testing at the hospital, How soon might you learn here?

She in fact, does have virus.

We might just have in the next few days.

It takes some time to collect the specimen, send them away, and then and then get them.

Get the results from CDC recently.

Actually, the test itself this is being made available.

It's been cleared by FDA.

There was a press briefing earlier today, so that test will be pushed out to the public call public health labs in the U.

S.

A specific reason why Crab Okay, the secretary of defense chose Travis and I.

I don't I really can't get into the details of that.

But obviously, Travis is a large facility and able to handle these these types of passengers.

Doctor What?

CBC Recommending masks for doctors or nurses or caregivers just in case.

And what is the tree treat for someone who over there's infection control practices dictate the Taiko protective equipment that would be used in such a setting.

Begin these air standard equipment that's used throughout this country to prevent conditions healthcare providers from becoming infected from a recitation Sex.

Is this your second?

The treatment options?

Very Currently, we don't have a specific treatment for the novel.

Ours.

Obviously, we can provide supportive, Clear, for example, providing museum respiratory distress, oxygen, for example, providing environment in the hospital where we could provide supportive interventions This needed.

But we don't have a specific antiviral.

Yes, How is this there?

Is it the Air Force base is is not changing their normal routines.

I mean, I have Brickley assistance of leadership in the Air Force base.

We've conducted a couple of town halls with the with the bass community to answer any questions.

Talk about the 14 day your life.

You're not seven.

What kind of knowledge behind that their specific time bring to where a person should develop symptoms that include back to have this illness correct.

So the incubation period is that time between exposure time, a person might develop symptoms, and it varies depending on the person.

And that variation might be from, you know, earlier David to up to 14 days.

14 days with most people are actually become symptomatic in that first week.

So we're being very conservative in pushing out the quarantine period to 14 days because there have been some people read early who've gotten illness during that during that period time.

So 14 day window makes us wear reassured.

That person is not perfect, but I already answered this.

But these are people that either travelled lived actually including province.

And there's also all right, they have different levels of exposure for months.

Two years.

With that 14.

Is he just going to CDC House and airports purse now, also in the way we do not have Air Force personnel in his own way?

Have CDC personnel as well as other federal agencies interjects for it or the administration for Children ways Okay with this assisting the evacuees.

There's a question on the back.

Um, the majority of them are American citizens.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I couldn't say the whole board way.

Talk a little bit about what daily life will be like for the evacuees of the next working days of their activities planned for them when they go to the pool or Jim or social activities are the apartment's stuck in the room they're not stuck in housing is that there are common spaces.

There's also a large outdoor area.

There are kids along these evacuees, and so we have.

We have people on the staff who are working to put together activities.

We also we want to make some social way, want to maintain some social distances between family units, but at the same time well, no restricting people to their rooms.

So So it's a delicate balance, people.

They are being restricted to this area under quarantine.

They're not being restricted to their rooms.

We are asking them to have some social distancing more than six feet between family units and not have, for example, kids.

We don't want them to share toys, for example, as much as we can between the families.
