美国11个机场将接受曾有乘客到过中国的航班
华盛顿——为了保护美国人民避免接触冠状病毒，代理部长查德·沃尔夫（Chad F. Wolf）发布指示，对2020年1月31日的决定加以补充，要求引导所有来自中国的航班和过去14天内曾到过中国的所有乘客前往美国8个机场之一，从 2020年2月2日星期天起生效，适用于东部时间下午5时后起飞的航班。从2020年2月3日星期一不同的时间开始，另外3个机场将被列入授权接受这类航班的名单。美国为上述11个机场建立了增强型筛检程序，在需要的情况下有对乘客进行检疫隔离的能力。
此外，返回前14天内曾到过湖北省的美国公民将受到最长14天的强制隔离，保证他们获得适当的医疗护理和健康筛检。返回前14天内曾到过中国大陆其他地区的美国公民将接受积极的入境健康筛检，并在医疗监护下进行最长14天的自我隔离，以确定他们未受到病毒感染，不会对公共健康造成危险。一般而言，外国公民（除美国公民、永久居民的直系亲属和航班机组人员外）如在抵达前14天内曾到过中国将被拒绝入境美国。国土安全部代理部长查德·沃尔夫表示，“目前美国公众面临的危险不高，集中接受最近曾有乘客到过中国的所有航班是我们此时能够采取的最重要和最慎重的措施，目的在于减少公共卫生官员筛检入境旅客的压力。上述措施还可为从中国返回的美国公民加快通关程序，保证有关的资源集中用于保障美国人民的健康和安全。我们知道，这对某些人来说，可能会感到额外的压力，旅行的时间过长，但是公共卫生和安全专家都认为这些措施对于控制病毒和保护美国人民很有必要。为了最大程度地减少干扰，海关与边境保护局（CBP）和航空公司正努力在预定航班起飞前对符合条件的乘客进行鉴别，一旦回到美国，就需要服从自我隔离的指示，协助保护美国公众。”
他还说，“美国公众可以放心，国土安全部及下属各机构正与疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）的医疗专业人员和参与全政府行动的跨机构合作伙伴密切合作，采取果断行动对危险进行分析，努力降低危险，延缓病毒的传播。”
国土安全部和交通安全管理局（Transportation Security Administration）已与各航空公司和疾病控制与预防中心广泛协调，指定了美国7个机场，由疾病控制与预防中心鉴别可能患病的人员。

DHS Issues Restrictions on Inbound Flights with Individuals Who Have Been in China 11 U.S. airports will receive flights carrying passengers from China
WASHINGTON – To protect the American people from exposure to the coronavirus, on Sunday, February 2, 2020, the Acting Secretary Chad F. Wolf issued instructions supplementing a decision issued on January 31, 2020, and directed all flights from China and all passengers who have traveled to China within the last 14 days to be routed through one of eight U.S. airports, effective Sunday, February 2nd, 2020, for flights departing after 5:00 PM Eastern. Three additional airports will be added to the list of airports authorized to receive such flights beginning at various times on Monday, February 3, 2020. At these eleven airports, the United States Government has established enhanced screening procedures and the capacity to quarantine passengers, if needed.
Additionally, U.S. citizens who have been in Hubei province within 14 days of their return will be subject to up to 14 days of mandatory quarantine to ensure they are provided proper medical care and health screening. U.S. citizens who have been in other areas of mainland China within 14 days of their return will undergo proactive entry health screening and up to 14 days of self-quarantine with health monitoring to ensure they have not contracted the virus and do not pose a public health risk. Generally, foreign nationals (other than immediate family of U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and flight crew) who have traveled in China within 14 days of their arrival, will be denied entry into the United States.
“While the overall risk to the American public remains low, funneling all flights with passengers who have recently been in China is the most important and prudent step we can take at this time to decrease the strain on public health officials screening incoming travelers. These steps will also expedite the processing of U.S. citizens returning from China, and ensure resources are focused on the health and safety of the American people,” said DHS Acting Secretary Chad F. Wolf. “We realize this could provide added stress and prolong travel times for some individuals, however public health and security experts agree these measures are necessary to contain the virus and protect the American people. To minimize disruptions, CBP and air carriers are working to identify qualifying passengers before their scheduled flights. Once back in the U.S., it’s imperative that individuals honor self-quarantine directives to help protect the American public.”
“The American public can be assured that DHS and its component agencies are taking decisive action to analyze the threat, minimize risk, and slow the spread of the virus by working closely with CDC health professionals and interagency partners involved in this whole-of-government effort,” he added.
DHS and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) have coordinated extensively with air carriers and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to designate the eleven U.S. airports at which CDC will seek to identify potentially ill persons.
Effective Sunday, February 2nd at 5:00 PM EST, Americans flying to the United States from China will be re-routed to the following airports at no cost to the traveler:
·       John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), New York
·       Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD), Illinois
·       San Francisco International Airport (SFO), California
·       Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), Washington
·       Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL), Hawaii
·       Los Angeles International Airport, (LAX), California
·       Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), Georgia
·       Washington-Dulles International Airport (IAD), Virginia
Effective at 6:30 AM EST on Monday, February 3rd, this list of airports is expanded to include:
·       Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), New Jersey
Effective at 7:30 AM EST on Monday, February 3rd, this list of airports is expanded to include:
·       Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), TexasDetroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW), Michigan
Although the CDC expects more cases of the coronavirus in the U.S., the risk of infection for Americans remains low, and all agencies are working aggressively to monitor this continuously evolving situation and to keep the public educated and informed:
·        American air travelers should be aware that if they have been to China in the last 14 days, they will be routed through one of eleven airports to undergo enhanced health screenings.
·        Any individual traveling from China who has either been in Hubei Province or other areas of the mainland and is showing symptoms associated with the virus will be screened and subject to mandatory quarantine by medical professionals at a nearby facility.
·        If a traveler who spent time in China, but outside the Hubei province, is re-routed through one of the eleven airports and shows no symptoms following a health screening, they will be re-booked to their destination and asked to “self-quarantine” at their homes.
·        CBP and air carriers are working together to identify and rebook any passengers that meet these criteria, however other travelers without a nexus to China may also be routed through one of these eleven airports if it is discovered mid-flight that someone else on their flight has been in China in the last 14 days.
·       Travelers showing symptoms should be prepared for the possibility of prolonged delay to avoid spreading the infection.
