CHICAGO - The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Monday announced a second case of transmission of the new coronavirus within the United States and provided more detailed plans on how it will handle travelers returning from China as the country works to limit the outbreak.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is making nearly $250 million in emergency funds available to cover the cost of the response, an agency spokesman said on Monday. Passengers arriving in the United States on commercial airlines will be directed to one of 11 U.S. airports for additional health assessments. If they show virus symptoms such as fever, U.S. citizens and those who are exempt will be transferred for medical evaluation, and will not be allowed to complete their travel plans.Flights with U.S. government employees being evacuated by the State department will go to military bases.
HHS on Sunday notified Congress it may need to transfer $136 million to support efforts by the CDC, the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response and the Office of Global Affairs to respond to the outbreak, the agency confirmed on Monday.
