The first case of Coronavirus in the United States is reported and confirmed. Coronavirus or China Virus first appeared last month in Wuhan, China. Hundreds were sickened and six people in Asia due to this virus.
The US’ Disease Control and Prevention centers confirmed they found the first case of Coronavirus in Snohomish Country in Washington. They did not want to reveal the name of the patient who is in his 30s, though he is kept in isolation at Providence Regional Medical Center in Everett, Washington.
The China Virus patient in the US arrived at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on the 15th of January and that was before the US centers started health screenings at airports for Wuhan Coronavirus. Now the authorities started backtracking and tracing the people he might be in contact with, to check if he has spread the virus to anyone else.
The patient’s travel history and symptoms gave suspicion to doctors and they have sent the specimens to the CDC in Atlanta, and the results were positive. He fell ill four days after he arrived in the US.
According to the Secretary of Health for the state of Washington, the risk to the public is low.
