Among those 18, 11 are being treated at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, five were at Travis Air Force Base and two were at a facility near JBSA-Lackland.
Lackland was chosen as one of four quarantine sites for potential coronavirus cases. The first group of 91 people who had been in the Wuhan area of China were brought on February 6. That first wave has been released from the 14-day quarantine.
The second group of evacuees arrived at the military base on February 17 from the Diamond Princess cruise ship.
The CDC says the entire group of passengers is considered high risk.
