China: US overreacting to outbreak
A husband and wife, both aged 57, have been diagnosed with Wuhan coronavirus in California’s San Benito County, according to a statement from local officials.
This raises the number of confirmed cases in California to six, and 11 in the United States.
The husband recently traveled from the central Chinese city of Wuhan, epicenter of the outbreak. However the wife did not — a case of person-to-person transmission.
The San Benito County Public Health Services has provided guidance to the couple for home isolation and is closely monitoring their medical condition, according to the statement. Neither patient is in hospital.
These are the states where the coronavirus has been confirmed:
Arizona: 1 case
California: 6 cases
Illinois: 2 cases
Massachusetts: 1 case
Washington: 1 case
