The first American coronavirus evacuees to arrive at Miramar Marine Corps Air Station in San Diego earlier this month were released on Tuesday following the end of their 14-day quarantine period.
Coach buses arrived at the base to transport the newly released evacuees -- though it was not immediately clear where the buses were taking them to.

“Lots of people asked me how I feel, I can only recognize my feeling now,” Lin wrote. “It is like graduation. Bittersweet, happy, nervous, grateful, leaving friends, leaving people who cared for us, maybe a little tears…just no hugs :).”
