After jogging, Evans opened his laptop, sat in the hotel at the base and worked.

Evans and 194 other people were evacuated from Wuhan on a charter flight on January 28 to avoid an acute pneumonia epidemic caused by the new strain of corona virus (nCoV).

Jarred Evans, one of the Americans quarantined at March base, Riverside County, California.

The passengers on Evans’ flight were one of many groups of Americans evacuated from Wuhan.

It’s a pretty long and sometimes boring wait.

195 people on Evans’ flight were taken to March base for quarantine and this is one of five military bases currently used for this purpose.

`Everyone is pretty good. They understand that quarantine is necessary,` he said.

Managers at the base of the Agency for Children and Families (ACF) can deliver the laptop to Evans so he can work.

However, they are not allowed to leave the base’s courtyard.

Citizens under federal quarantine are provided with essentials such as food and medical care.

Evans, a football player at the University of Cincinnati, came to Wuhan two years ago to play football for the Wuhan Berserkers of the Chinese Football Federation.

Once the quarantine period ends, officials will fly evacuees to Los Angeles international airport so they can fly home and get back to life.

`As long as I’m happy talking to my family, they’re happy too,` Evans said.

The nCoV pneumonia epidemic was first recorded in early December 2019 and has spread to 26 countries and territories, causing many governments to evacuate citizens.

`It’s still a ghost town,` he said.

Evans spoke to friends still in Wuhan, who said everyone is trying to be civilized during the quarantine.

Compared to staying at the epicenter of the epidemic, a few days of quarantine at the base in Southern California seemed like a cheap price for Evans and everyone to exchange for safety and health.
