The CDC confirmed yesterday the first possible “community spread” of the coronavirus in the U.S.
The case brings the total number of cases in the U.S. to 60, a bulk of which are people who were evacuated from Wuhan, China or the Diamond Princess cruise ship that was quarantined off the coast of Japan.
Earlier this week, CDC officials said that it was just a matter of time before the outbreak starts to spread in the U.S."We are asking the American public to work with us to prepare for the expectation that this could be bad," Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, told reporters on a conference call.
The CDC said it is working closely with state, local, tribal, and territorial partners, as well as public health partners, to respond to this public health threat. "Unprecedented, aggressive efforts have been taken to contain the spread and mitigate the impact of this virus," the agency said.
