https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/medical-screener-lax-airport-tests-positive-coronavirus-n1149986 WASHINGTON — A medical professional who conducted passenger screenings at Los Angeles International Airport tested positive for the coronavirus late Tuesday night, according to the Department of Homeland Security and an internal email obtained by NBC News. The person last worked screening air travelers for illness on Feb. 21, the DHS said in a statement, which also said the medical professional had worn the proper protective gear while working. The internal email described the person as a "contract medical screener" for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The email also said "these screeners are predominantly assigned to the CDC in-transit lounge and a few support jetway screening on direct flights from China." In its statement, the DHS said: "Late last night, DHS headquarters was alerted to a situation where one of our contracted medical professionals conducting screenings at LAX international airport had tested positive for COVID-19, also known as the coronavirus. This individual is currently under self-quarantine at home with mild symptoms and under medical supervision. Their immediate family is also under home quarantine." According to DHS, the individual began to exhibit cold-like symptoms on Saturday and visited a primary care doctor on Sunday and was tested for COVID-19, which came back positive on Tuesday. The individual's last shift at LAX was Feb. 21, more than a week before the appearance of symptoms. According to the internal email, the screener worked at LAX from Feb. 14 to 21 and became symptomatic on Feb. 29. "At this time we do not know if this case is a result from community spread or through their work as a medical screener," DHS said. "There have been no positive COVID-19 detections reported from the LAX screened travelers. This is an evolving situation that the CDC, DHS and county public health officials continue to examine." The internal email said that the "CDC contracted screener was an augmented screener secured by CWMD." The Combatting Weapons of Mass Destruction Office (CWMD) is part of DHS. Acting Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security Ken Cuccinelli said at a White House briefing by the President's Coronavirus Task Force on Jan. 31 that "our chief medical officer in the department is in CWMD and [we] were providing medical support at the airports." "We’re using contract authority that we have to backfill the CDC personnel, so they can be freed up for other missions at the airports where medical screening is being focused," said Cuccinelli. At a press conference Wednesday, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said, "I want to go out of my way to thank our federal officials we have been working with. [They] have really worked to make sure that ships that are coming into the port are screened, the passengers that are coming into LAX are being screened — the fourth busiest airport in the world and the busiest container terminal in the Americas."

不会全美情况差不多，大农村根本没有那个传播条件。 大城市以及人口密度大的地方倒是可能。
西雅图测得快是因为养老院中招，一下死了几个，然后估计CDC就集中人力物力测WA的case了。
同疑问。 上班上学都没变。 我就关注这周末的LA Marathon还跑不跑了。
其他州有在测吗？ 看别的帖子，有的地方医生要求了还是没有testing kit?
