• U.S. officials unveiled an ambitious plan to make sure anybody flying from Wuhan, China, to the US goes through screening for a virus sweeping the region.
• The plans include a vast “funnel” system to reroute individual fliers — and potentially whole planes — to one of 5 airports screening for the so-called Wuhan virus.
• The virus has killed at least 9 people and infected 440. One case has been confirmed in the US.

The U.S. is making plans to force passengers from Wuhan, China, to change flights — and even reroute flights entirely if necessary — to ensure they get screened for the coronavirus spreading throughout the Chinese city.

“For example, if a passenger was originally to fly from Wuhan to Shanghai and then Boston, that flight would most likely be rerouted to JFK for screening, and then proceed to Boston, CDC officials said.”
