2 people in Maryland being tested for coronavirus after trip to China

Two people in Maryland are being tested for the coronavirus after traveling to China, Governor Larry Hogan announced on Thursday.

Hogan says the $10 million is just precautionary because it's believed the state will need additional money to pay for preparations.

The governor says all levels of government are working together to take precautions to respond to potential threats.

Hogan says two people have been tested in Maryland and found not to have the virus, and he says two more people are being tested.
