SHANGHAI/TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. (Reuters) - More than 300
American cruise liner passengers, including 14 who tested positive for coronavirus, were flown home to military bases in the
United States, after two weeks under quarantine off Japan.
The cruise ship Diamond Princess, with more than 400 cases by far the largest cluster outside China, has become the biggest test so far of other countries' ability to contain an outbreak that has killed 1,770 people in
China and five elsewhere.
Ground crew in anti-contamination suits met a chartered jet that touched down at Joint Base San Antonio in
Texas, and passengers could be seen climbing down the stairs wearing face masks in the pre-dawn mist.
