California confirms the third case of China virus in US Coronavirus China California
A patient in California’s Orange County was Saturday confirmed as the third person on US soil infected with the new deadly virus that originated in China, health officials said.
The infected person was a traveler from Wuhan, the Chinese city at the epicenter of the outbreak, the Orange County Health Care Agency said. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed the patient had tested positive for the Novel Coronavirus, it said.“There is no evidence that person-to-person transmission has occurred in Orange County. The current risk of local transmission remains low,” the health care agency said.
The previously unknown virus has caused alarm because of its similarity to SARS , which killed hundreds across mainland China and Hong Kong in 2002-2003.
