Health officials said Monday there is still time to contain the coronavirus as the death toll in America rose in Washington and the virus spread in California.“I think we have a common enemy,” said World Health Organization director Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. “We have to stand together in unison to fight it, and these early signs are very encouraging.”Of the 3,000 deaths from the virus, 2,803 have been in China’s Hubei province, where the outbreak began.
“That offers us a glimmer, a chink of life that this virus can be suppressed and contained,” Mike Ryan, who runs the agency’s emergencies program, said in a briefing Monday. In Sonoma County, officials confirmed its second case of coronavirus, pending CDC confirmation, and declared a local health emergency.
