An American family is stranded in Wuhan, China, amid the coronavirus outbreak after they were unable to locate the daughter’s passport in time for evacuation back to the U.S.
An American family is stranded in Wuhan, China — the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak — after they were unable to locate the daughter’s passport in time to make the U.S. government-chartered plane back to the states.
Hermione’s father and Priscilla’s ex-husband, James Dickey, who lives in Wuhan, told news outlets that family members faxed papers confirming the young girl’s identity and James finally located his daughter’s actual passport, but it was too little too late.
— TODAY January 28, 2020 There have been five cases reported in the U.S. so far, according to the Wednesday briefing by the CDC, with the first case in the nation involving a man in his 30s who was traveling from Wuhan, China, to his home in Washington. Health officials in Arkansas confirmed Wednesday that they are investigating a possible case.
However, Deresinski says that the coronavirus doesn't appear to be “as lethal as SARS,” which killed 774 people, according to the CDC. “It looks like most of the fatalities are in the elderly and in individuals with co-morbidities — that is, existing illnesses,” making them more vulnerable to the virus.
