A spokesman for the American Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that in Seattle, a person coming from China was diagnosed with the outbreak of Corona virus in Wuhan, China.

Benjamin Haynes, spokesman for the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said more details would be revealed at a news conference today.

The newly identified Corona virus appeared in Wuhan and spread to Beijing and Shanghai. Chinese health officials said more than 300 people were infected and six died.


The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention began last week to screen travelers from China at three US airports. In addition to the United States, cases outside China have appeared in South Korea, Thailand and Japan.
