CDC confirms second US case of coronavirus
U.S. health officials said they diagnosed a second patient with the China
coronavirus after a Chicago woman returned from Wuhan with the infection,
and they are currently monitoring 63 other potential cases here.
The cases currently being monitored in the U.S. stretch across 22 different
states, including the first patient in Washington state and the new case in
Illinois, Dr. Nancy Messonnier, the director of the National Center for
Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, told reporters on a conference call
hosted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday.
Officials said the patient, a woman in her 60s, is currently doing well and
is in stable condition. She remains isolated in a hospital as a precaution,
U.S. health officials said. The Illinois patient traveled to China in late
December and began experiencing symptoms when she returned to the U.S. last
week, officials said. She did not have symptoms while flying, they said.
Upon returning to the U.S., the patient had very limited movement from
outside her home and did not use public transportation or attend any large
gatherings, they said. The patient began to feel unwell a few days after
completing her trip and alerted her doctor.
“CDC believes the immediate risk to the U.S. public is low at this time,
but the situation is evolving rapidly,” Messonnier said, adding that there
is likely to be more cases in the coming days. “We have our best people
working on this problem.”
The flu-like coronavirus, first identified on Dec. 31, has already killed at
least 26 people and infected more than 900 worldwide.
On Tuesday, the CDC confirmed the country’s first case — a Washington
state man who has been quarantined in a hospital outside of Seattle after
flying back from Wuhan, China. The CDC said the man reached out to local
health authorities last week once he started experiencing pneumonia-like
symptoms.
U.S. health officials warned Friday that the flu or other respiratory
illnesses could complicate identifying more cases. They recommend that
people call a health-care provider before seeking treatment so the
appropriate measures can be put in place. The CDC is trying to speed up
testing and to get the tests in the hands of state health officials. It
currently takes the CDC about four to six hours to make a diagnosis once a
sample makes it to their lab.
“We’re really working to understand the full spectrum of the illness with
this coronavirus,” Messonnier said. “The problem with this time of year is
it’s cold and flu season and there are lots of cold and respiratory
infections circulating.”
On Thursday, the World Health Organization declined to formally designate
the new virus as a global health emergency, after postponing its decision
the day before. Health officials are trying to contain the fast-spreading
illness without unnecessarily spooking global trade. WHO physicians said
they needed more data before declaring a global emergency, but the virus is
now spreading through close human contact and in health-care settings, they
said. | l******t
