Officials initially said there were 201 passengers, but the CDC said later that number included the six members of the plane’s crew. Braden described people as being “very happy to be here,” where they’re getting housing, medical attention and testing for the virus.Officials could quarantine any of those evacuated on a case-by-case basis if officials determine they need to do so, Braden said.If passengers from the chartered flight show no signs of the virus and leave the base, they will continue to be monitored by public health officials at their destinations for the remainder of a period lasting 14 days, he said.
The jet landed at the California base shortly after 8 a.m. A ground crew dressed in white approached the aircraft, and three charter-style buses parked near the plane. About 40 minutes after landing, people could be seen walking from the plane to the first bus, which then departed. Another bus pulled up next to the plane’s baggage compartment.
