4. Can someone clarify for me?

The article leads one to believe these two new cases are in the US. However, it also states "Both patients have not left their home since returning to China."


Soooooooo,
Are they counted as being in the US b/c they have NOT returned to China?
or,
Have they returned to China and therefore should not be counted as in the US?

Am I just reading this incorrectly? They can't be both places at the same time.
