President Trump said as of Saturday that 40,000 Americans have been repatriated who were stuck abroad due to flying restrictions and last-minute lockdowns amid the spread of the coronavirus.
“We brought back 40,000 Americans who were literally stuck in other countries,” Trump said at a White House briefing Saturday.

The California Public Health Department said there are more than 5,400 such people in the state. In Washington state, 745 people have been asked to self-quarantine. Georgia health officials identified about 200 travelers.
"We're asking everyone who has been in China in the last 14 days to stay home and monitor themselves for symptoms during that 14-day period," a spokesperson from the Texas Department of State Health Services said in an email.
