About 200 Georgia residents who recently traveled to China have been forced to “self-isolate” amid the sweeping coronavirus scare, officials announced this week.

The travelers spent time in mainland China, but not Hubei province — the epicenter of the outbreak — before returning home, and have shown no symptoms of the deadly bug, Georgia’s Department of Public Health said in a statement obtained by local outlet WTOC.

Authorities avoided using the word “quarantine,” instead saying that people are being isolated in their homes during the illness’ 14-day incubation period, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

But the Trump administration has used the term in a directive ordering all American citizens returning from Hubei province into 14 days of mandatory quarantine.

Americans returning from the rest of mainland China need to undergo additional screening at airports and potential self-administered quarantine, the White House has ordered.

Health officials in Georgia have called the recent travelers to explain the requirements — and stress the importance of notifying authorities of any potential coronavirus symptoms, the Journal-Constitution reported.

Anyone who shows symptoms or tests positive for the illness will be immediately hospitalized in a quarantined area.

As of Wednesday, coronavirus has infected more than 45,000 people globally and is responsible for more than 1,100 deaths — the vast majority in mainland China.
