US evacuees freed from coronavirus quarantine, but face shunning and discrimination by fellow Americans | South China Morning Post
Arrival of first batch of 195 US citizens from Wuhan stoked fears they would spread disease, despite none of them testing positive for Covid-19
Personnel from base where evacuees were housed were denied housing, and their children were treated badly at school
Nearly 200 people evacuated from China because of the coronavirus outbreak were released from quarantine in California on Tuesday, with officials urging Americans not to shun them, or workers who helped them, after both groups faced discrimination.The 195 US citizens, mostly US State Department employees and their families, underwent the United States’ first mandatory quarantine since 1963 after they were evacuated from the coronavirus-stricken Chinese city of Wuhan.
==============================================================
Despite their having passed the 14-day terminal cutoff date for development of the infection, they were still shunned by the Americans working at March ARB near Los Angeles where they were temporarily housed as a safety precaution before being released. Most were state department employees.
