The U.S. currently has 11 confirmed cases of the 2019-nCoV virus, with patients reported in California, Massachusetts, Arizona, Illinois, and Washington state. And it has imposed new restrictions on people who want to travel from China to the U.S. That policy followed announcements by American Airlines, Delta Air Lines and United Airlines that they would suspend flying routes between the U.S. and mainland China.
"China's foreign ministry said 14 of the foreigners were still under observation and treatment in China," Feng says."Two had been cured and discharged. At least 37 airlines have said they are reducing or suspending all flights to and from China as the death toll from the new coronavirus continues to rise."There have been no coronavirus fatalities in the U.S., but the first death outside of China was reported in Philippines over the weekend.
