The acting head of U.S. Homeland Security says the U.S. is taking the necessary steps to protect Americans with a “multilayered strategy” at air, land and maritime ports of entry to stem the spread of the new virus.
Secretary Chad Wolf said on
Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures” that the U.S. is now funneling flights from
China to 11 airports, including any individual who has been in China in the last 14 days, to ensure they get medical screening and medical care.
Wolf said the three major U.S. air carriers over the past several weeks have all but ceased flights from China, so those incoming flights are mostly Chinese airlines carrying mostly U.S. citizens.
