Chinese authorities say the outbreak began in a seafood and live-animal market in the city of Wuhan. The Washington state patient, a man in his 30s, had traveled to Wuhan, but says he did not visit the market in question or know anyone who had the virus.
At least six people have died, according to officials.
The virus, in the same family as SARS, MERS and the common cold, often circulates among animals. It can jump from animal to human, and in rare cases can mutate and spread from person to person. The key information, according to Messonnier, will be determining how easily the virus can spread from person to person.
