NEW YORK (AP) — Health officials Thursday reported the first
U.S. case of person-to-person spread of the new virus from
China.
The individual is married to the Chicago woman who got sick from
the virus after she returned from a trip to Wuhan, China, the
epicenter of the outbreak. There have been cases reported of the
infectious virus spreading to others in a household or workplace
in China and elsewhere.
The new case is the sixth reported in the United States. The
other five were travelers who developed the illness after
returning to the U.S. from China. The latest patient had not
been in China.
The Chicago woman, who is in her 60s, returned from central
China on Jan. 13, then last week went to a hospital with
symptoms and was diagnosed with the viral illness. She and her
husband are hospitalized.
