Update from @CDCgov: No new coronavirus infections in the US.
@CDCgov Case total stands at 11 — but they're investigating more people, so standby.
They're sending 210 test kids to US domestic labs. Another 200 will be sent to international labs. Each kit can test around 700 patient samples.
@CDCgov (By kid in the last tweet... I meant kit.)
This means diagnostic capacity will improve here and abroad, says @DrNancyM_CDC.
So we may hear more from states about confirmed cases.
@CDCgov @DrNancyM_CDC Four more planes are carrying passengers from Wuhan back to the US. Planes will arrive in Sacramento Cali, San Diego, San Antonio Texas, and Omaha Nebraska.
CDC staff will screen, monitor, evaluate people before takeoff, during the flight. #coronavirus #2019n_CoV
@CDCgov @DrNancyM_CDC These passengers will be issued legal quarantine orders upon arrival at their designated quarantine location.
"This is the beginning of what could be a long response. Right now, we're aggressively intervening.." to prevent intro of the virus into the US, says @DrNancyM_CDC
