SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) — A Palo Alto woman who has been quarantined with her teenage daughter on a southern California military base for nearly two weeks after being airlifted out of the coronavirus outbreak in China was scheduled to be released Tuesday and head home to the Bay Area.

Esther Tebeka and her 15-year-old daughter, Chaya, have been among the nearly 200 people who were evacuated to March Air Reserve Base in Riverside County. They will be ending their 14-day quarantine period on Tuesday and allowed to travel home.

“My family, I really can’t wait to be reunited with them, I just want to give them big hugs,” Esther Tebeka said through a video phone interview.
