The U.S. State Department said it would evacuate more Americans from the coronavirus-hit Chinese city of Wuhan, offering several hundred nationals a chance to leave while they still can.

This week, the U.S. government flew about 200 people on a chartered flight to a Southern California military base, where the U.S. citizens are currently in medical isolation.
