Coronavirus test kits sent to 100 US labs: CDC
Wisconsin health officials confirmed the 12th coronavirus case in the United States on Wednesday.
While this was announced, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is shipping newly approved coronavirus tests to health labs across the country Wednesday so states can begin their own coronavirus testing.The new diagnostic tests will"greatly enhance our national capacity" to test for the virus, Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases said during a news conference Wednesday.
Upon arrival at the final destination, all travelers will be screened by CDC medical personnel and placed under a federally mandated 14-day quarantine. The U.S. Department of Defense"will work closely with our interagency partners and continue to provide support to the situation as requested," Mitchell said.
In Geneva, the head of the World Health Organization stressed that the international community has a small window of time in which to contain the novel coronavirus at a Wednesday news conference."Invest today or pay more later," said Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director general of the WHO. In Japan, fears about how the new coronavirus could affect the 2020 Olympic Games, which are slated to take place in Tokyo this summer, have bubbled to the surface, with a top Olympic official saying that organizers were"extremely worried" about coronavirus disrupting them.
