U.S. health officials confirmed on Thursday the nation’s
first person-to-person transmission of the coronavirus that has already killed
at least 171 people in China and infected more than 8,200 since emerging less
than a month ago.
The new patient is the husband of the
Chicago woman who brought the infection back from Wuhan, China, the
epicenter of the outbreak, CDC and Illinois health officials said during a
press briefing. Health officials said the man, in his 60s, has “some underlying
medical conditions” but was in good condition. His wife was doing well but
remained in isolation at a local hospital, they said.
Public health officials are also monitoring 21 patients in
Illinois for possible infections.
