I think we are going to see a lot more of this as countries around the world increase their airport screening for coronavirus. There might be hundreds temporarily detained for testing in the next few weeks, especially as the contacts of initial contacts are screened.

They are being very cautious and that's a good thing!
From the article:
"Officials of VSMMC confirmed that the 10 patients are currently inside the negative pressure rooms in their facility, which serve as special isolation areas for highly contagious diseases."
