On Thursday, the CDC confirmed the first case of human-to-human transmission in the U.S.

As the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention continues to test samples for the novel coronavirus, the agency confirmed the first case of human-to-human transmission in the United States.

Since being discovered in Wuhan, China, in December, the novel strain of coronavirus, temporarily named 2019-nCoV, has infected nearly 8,000 people and caused 170 deaths. Originally confined to China, cases have been identified in 19 countries according to the CDC, including the United States. During a press conference on Thursday, Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, announced the first case of human-to-human transmission within the United States.

"Moving forward, we can expect to see more cases, and more cases means more potential for person-to-person spread," Messonnier said, as reported by CNBC.
