LOS ANGELES: US health officials on Friday reported a third case of the new coronavirus transmitted to a person who did not travel overseas or come in contact with anyone known to be ill, indicating the disease was spreading in the country.
Authorities said the new case concerned a person living in the western state of Oregon. The adult patient, who has been hospitalized, was known to have had contact with people at an elementary school.Two other"community spread" cases have been reported in neighboring California this week. Both cases involve older people in the northern part of the state who mysteriously contracted the virus.
The increasing number of people stricken with the illness in the United States is sure to heighten fears of an outbreak across the country. According to the Centers for Disease Control, as of Thursday there were more than 60 people infected with the disease in the United States.California's Governor Gavin Newsom on Thursday said 33 people there had tested positive for the virus, and five of them had left the state.
The 2nd one? Where is it from?
The United States should focus more on controlling severe pneumonia than on the route of transmission.
