This whole situation is stressing me out. My husband is living and working in Okinawa right now. He is scheduled to be in S Korea for two weeks in early March (work). He has a flight booked for late March to come home and visit us. I'm worried the US will force quarantine people who were recently in S Korea or Japan (his flight home connects through Tokyo). On a similar note, I definitely don't want him coming home if he has been exposed to this virus. But we haven't seen him since Christmas and his time away has been quite hard on all of us. Ugh. Stupid virus!
There has only been one case in Okinawa so far and it's likely not near where your husband lives/works. Korea looks like the bigger risk right now. The US doesn't even require mandatory quarantine for some parts of China so it's highly unlikely they will implement a quarantine for Korea or Japan. I personally wouldn't assume he has been exposed to the virus unless he was on transportation that involved a confirmed case or met with someone who later developed symptoms.
