U.S. passengers evacuated from the quarantined Diamond Princess cruise ship are going to the Center for Domestic Preparedness in Anniston, Ala., according to an article on the AL.com website.
According to FEMA, the passengers who will stay at the facility tested positive for the coronavirus, but either they do not have symptoms or have a mild flu-like illness.
The 176-acre facility is managed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and is used to train first responders from around the country.
The Department of Defense has also set aside military bases in California, Colorado and Texas to house evacuees during a 14-day quarantine.
