So far, no confirmed cases involving human-to-human transmission have been identified.
Multiple cases of a novel coronavirus known to cause pneumonia have been found in the United States, and more than 70 others are awaiting test results.
Temporarily named 2019-nCoV, the virus originated in Wuhan, China, but has since spread to at least 12 countries, according to the World Health Organization . The vast majority of the 2,798 confirmed cases are confined to China, but as of Monday five people in America had tested positive for the virus.
"Our most important priority is making sure that the test is accurate," she said on a press call."Speed is important, but accuracy is probably a priority." Among the suspected cases is a student from White Mountain School in Bethlehem, New Hampshire. The student returned to the U.S. from China on January 6 and went to Littleton Regional Healthcare on Thursday with mild flu-like symptoms, according to the New Hampshire hospital. Measures were taken to prevent cross-contamination until the CDC confirms test results.
