A third case of coronavirus has been identified in the United States.
The latest case is in Orange County, Southern California. The Orange County Health Care Agency announced the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed a traveler from the Chinese city of Wuhan, the centre of the outbreak, tested positive for the virus. The patient is in isolation at a hospital and in good condition, a release from the agency said.
That patient had been in contact with the local health agency and was provided guidance to reduce exposure to others while health officials awaited laboratory confirmation. After consulting with the CDC and the California Department of Public Health, the Orange County agency will follow up with people who have had close contact with the patient.
Guidance from the CDC advises that people who have had casual contact with the patient are at minimal risk for developing infection. Theres no evidence that person-to-person transmission occurred in Orange County, and the risk of local transmission remains low, the release said.
