Third US case of coronavirus confirmed in Southern California; death toll tops 50 in China
The Orange County Health Care Agency’s Communicable Disease Control Division said the individual was hospitalized in isolation in good condition. The patient had traveled from Wuhan, a Chinese city of 11 million people that is the outbreak's epicenter.
The CDC says people who have casual contact with a case, such as in the same grocery store or movie theater, are at minimal risk of developing infection. China Health Minister Ma Xiaowei said Sunday that it appeared the"ability of the virus to spread is getting stronger” and that it is infectious before symptoms show, a characteristic that could make it harder to contain.
