First patient in the United States: The American Center for Disease Prevention (CDC) announced Tuesday (Tuesday) that a Washington state resident has been diagnosed with Corona virus, the first case in the country, according to the New York Times. According to the center's estimates, the patient was infected with the dangerous virus while traveling in Wuhan city of China, where the disease was first identified. The center also said they expect to see more patients with the disease in the coming days.

Recall that the virus, which causes a contagious respiratory illness that has already taken a living, was detected in China last month after a panic caused by an unknown contagious disease. Of the 300 known infections, six have died so far.

Six East Asian countries announced yesterday that they will investigate and filter out passengers arriving from China, out of concern over the Corona virus.
