If there were ongoing community spread of this virus we would know it, and that's not happening, so right now, in the United States, communities across this country are at very low risk of being exposed to this virus, including in San Diego and including on this base.

We are in a critical time period in the international spread of the virus, and this action is necessary to try to prevent the spread here.

I personally talked to them when they were disembarking and going through their first screening checks. They were happy to be here. They were very cooperative with the questions, they want to protect themselves. They want to protect others.

There's no indication we have any transmission from those cases, and therefore the risk for people in the United States, we believe, is low.
