As the coronavirus continues to spread, the U.S. is reportedly planning to boost staff at almost two dozen airports in an effort to screen nearly all passengers traveling from China. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said it increased its travel warning to Level 3 on Monday, recommending travelers to "avoid all nonessential travel to China." Concerns over the virus' fast-spreading nature have prompted the CDC to increase staffing at 20 U.S. airports that have quarantine facilities, The Washington Post reported. Passengers from the Hubei province were screened at five test airports, with the 20-airport expansion starting in the coming days, according to the outlet. "Travelers with signs and symptoms of illness (fever, cough, or difficulty breathing) will have an additional health assessment."
