Among the hundreds of Americans evacuated from Wuhan, China this week amid the escalating coronavirus outbreak was Chunlin Leonhard, a professor at Loyola University New Orleans College of Law.
Leonhard, who has shown no signs of illness, arrived back in the United States on Thursday and is now under a two-week federally mandated quarantine at Travis Air Force Base in Northern California. She and her fellow passengers are being housed in a hotel on the base but aren't allowed to leave the grounds or have visitors, Leonhard said in a phone interview Thursday.
"I have plenty of things to do," she said, less than a day into her quarantine. "It doesn't bother me that much except for the fact that my freedom is being deprived."
