Officials Prepare for Possibility of Coronavirus Evacuees to be Transported to Camp Roberts

The Monterey County Health Officer said on Sunday, February 16 that there is no certainty at this time that passengers with novel coronavirus (COVID-19) from the Diamond Princess cruise ship will be arriving at Camp Roberts.

However, local officials have been advised by state and federal authorities to prepare for the possibility that passengers who test positive for COVID-19 but no longer require hospitalization may be sent to Camp Roberts for the remainder of their isolation period. The County is actively involved in coordinating with state, federal and local partners – including the County of San Luis Obispo – to protect the health and well-being of local residents.

“We understand that a federal team will provide the staffing, food, and medical care at Camp Roberts,” said Dr. Edward Moreno, Monterey County Health Officer. “The Monterey County Health Department is working to ensure that we protect the health and well-being of Monterey County residents.”

There are currently no cases of COVID-19 in Monterey County and the risk to residents remains low.

Camp Roberts is a military training base in central California, located in both San Luis Obispo and Monterey Counties.

The Monterey County Health Department will provide updates as more information becomes available.
