| The first American evacuees from Wuhan, China, were met at a California military base last year by U.S. health officials with no virus prevention plan or infection control training — and who had not even been told to wear masks, according to a federal investigation. Later, those officials were told to remove protective gear when meeting with the evacuees, who were quarantined at the base, to avoid "bad optics."
Those are among the findings of two federal reports obtained by The Washington Post, supporting a whistleblower's account of the chaos as U.S. officials scrambled to greet nearly 200 evacuees from Wuhan at March Air Reserve Base in Riverside County, Calif., in the early morning of Jan. 29, 2020. |
