  • Costa Mesa Seeks To Block Transfer Of Up To 70 Coronavirus Patients To City

    I don't know if this should go in the Cali thread or it's own, but I know you'll put it where it belongs.
    Costa Mesa Seeks To Block Transfer Of Up To 70 Coronavirus Patients To City



    COSTA MESA (CBSLA)Costa Mesa is trying to block as many as 70 confirmed coronavirus patients from being transferred to the city.

    Federal court papers filed Friday state that the federal government plans to transfer the patients from Travis Air Force Base near Sacramento to the former Fairview Development Center on Sunday. Last night officials began hearing of the plan by the Department of Health and Human Services and the CDC to move between 30 and 76 patients to the state-owned land.

    Some of the patients are from the Diamond Princess cruise ship from which more than 300 U.S. citizens were removed Monday.

    While it is known that the patients are California residents and some may be coming from the Diamond Princess cruise ship, city manager Loriann Farrell Harrison said the city needs to know more before feeling comfortable with the transfer.

    “The reason that we have followed through with an injunction is because we don’t have a lot of information. We would like to know more about who the individuals are,” she said.

    "This was a bit of a blind side," Costa Mesa Mayor Katrina Foley told City News Service.

    She said the city "was surprised to learn yesterday (Thursday) around 5:20 p.m. that Fairview Developmental Center was being considered for use for 30 to 50 patients who have tested positive for coronavirus."
