CDC confirms first US case of Wuhan coronavirus in Washington state

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed the first United States case of a mysterious coronavirus from China in Washington state.

According to the CDC, the man affected is a Snohomish County resident in his 30s, who was traveling through Sea-Tac Airport after a trip to China near the Wuhan region. He was hospitalized with pneumonia last week; the coronavirus infection was subsequently confirmed Monday afternoon. Authorities say he has been fully cooperative with quarantine procedures since his arrival.

He is currently being treated at Providence Medical Center in Everett.

All other travelers to the U.S. from Wuhan will be rerouted to San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, and JFK in New York for additional screening.
