The group of 195 people have been quarantined at the base since they arrived from Wuhan, the epicenter of the outbreak, on January 29. "To date, no one has tested positive for novel coronavirus among the 195 in quarantine," the health department said.
"People on and off the base"are not at increased risk for exposure to the new virus," the department said, as the evacuees have been"fully separated" from base personnel.
