CDC expected to announce first US case of coronavirus in Washington State, reports say
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Tuesday confirmed the first U.S. case of a deadly new coronavirus that has killed six people in China.
The World Health Organization is gathering a panel of experts on coronavirus Wednesday in Geneva, Switzerland, to determine whether the outbreak constitutes an international public health emergency and how it can be managed. "We must be vigilant to ensure that adequate screening processes are in place at all US airports," Glatter said.
The virus can be spread from animals to people. But it also can be spread by coughing, sneezing and through close contact with an infected person or an object carrying the virus.
