Americans Evacuated From Wuhan Pass Health Checks for Coronavirus
More than 200 Americans on an airplane from Wuhan, China landed at March Air Reserve Base on Wednesday morning to be tested and ran through multiple screenings for symptoms of the coronavirus.
The plane, originally set to land at Ontario International Airport, was diverted to the Moreno Valley base to provide the passengers with better housing as they spend multiple nights being evaluated. Medical officials from the Center of Disease Control met the plane as it landed.
The CDC says that all passengers at the base are being evaluated at least twice a day for symptoms of the virus and are asked to stay at the base for at least three days. Samples from the passengers are currently being sent to Atlanta, home of the one laboratory in the U.S. that can test for coronavirus, health officials said at a press conference.
Passengers can potentially leave by this weekend if tests come back negative.

Trump Officials Look To Hide Bolton's Book to Save Trump From Impeachment
White House officials threaten to block publication of a book authored by John Bolton unless the former national security adviser deletes certain information within it.
Various national security representatives say the book contains top secret information that could compromise national security.
Revisions of the book may be made, but talk of a testimony from Bolton in the Senate impeachment trial has been aroused.
Trump Administration officials say that they have not seen the book and did not participate in its review. However, many Americans think otherwise, and believe that Trump is hiding hard evidence that if leaked will result in his termination.
The impeachment trial is ongoing and Democratic officials are continuing to push for the book publication. They believe it will surely lead to Trump's removal from office.
