The around 200 Americans flown out of Wuhan, China, due to the coronavirus outbreak aren’t required to stay under quarantine, health officials said on Jan. 29, but all of the passengers indicated they'd stay at the California air reserve base for at least three days.

Officials initially said there were 201 passengers on the plane, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) later clarified that figure included the pilots, crew members, and government employees.
