Federal officials have decided not to send people who tested positive for coronavirus to the Fairview Developmental Center in Costa Mesa, California, according to an article on the Los Angeles Times website.
A U.S. District Judge granted Costa Mesa’s request a week ago for a temporary restraining order that prevented federal and state agencies from placing people with the coronavirus at the vacated, state-owned Fairview Developmental Center for isolated monitoring and care.
The patients, as many as 30 to 50, have been quarantined at Travis Air Force Base in Northern California.
In a statement, the California Health and Human Services Agency said the federal government informed the state that the Fairview Developmental Center was no longer needed, since passengers testing positive for the coronavirus from the Diamond Princess cruise ship, who would have been sent to Fairview, were at “the imminent end of [their] isolation.”
