The CDC doesn't know exactly how the patient, a California resident, contracted the virus.
Travelers wearing masks arrive on a direct flight from China, after a spokesman from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said a traveller from China had been the first person in the United States to be diagnosed with the Wuhan coronavirus, at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in SeaTac, Washington, January 23, 2020.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Wednesday confirmed the first possible "community spread" of the coronavirus in the U.S.
The patient didn't have a relevant travel history or exposure to another patient with the virus. The case was picked up by clinicians in the public health system, the agency said. It brings the total number of cases in the U.S. to 60, a bulk of which are people who were evacuated from Wuhan, China or the Diamond Princess cruise ship that was quarantined off the coast of Japan.
Earlier this week, CDC officials said that it was just a matter of time before the outbreak starts to spread in the U.S."We are asking the American public to work with us to prepare for the expectation that this could be bad," Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, told reporters on a conference call.
