California:
Solano County health officials announced Friday two additional cases of the coronavirus. The two people are both residents of Solano County, and tested positive in Japan before being transported to Travis Air Force Base for quarantine.
One of the two people tested positive again after undergoing CDC testing. The other person’s CDC test is pending, county health officials said.
Health officials said both are under mandatory home isolation until they are cleared with the county.
Both the county and Travis Air Force Base declared a local emergency because of the influx of cases in the area.
“It is important to recognize that we have moved from containment to mitigation,” said Solano County Health Officer Dr. Bela Matyas in a press release. “We are investigating potential exposures and ensuring that proper evaluation and care are provided if they become sick.”
