China's death toll from an outbreak of coronavirus rose to 41 Friday as 15 more were reported dead from the infection, while a Chicago woman was hospitalized with coronavirus becoming the second confirmed case in the U.S.
Health officials in Chicago confirmed Friday that a 60-year-old woman has been diagnosed with coronavirus. This is the second verified case of coronavirus in the U.S., a sickness that has caused the province of Wuhan, China to be placed under quarantine to prevent its spread.
Officials from Hoffman Estes Hospital said the woman was"being monitored in isolation, in accordance with established infection control protocols. Given the advanced information and training provided by the CDC [Centers for Disease Control], our staff was well-prepared to care for this patient." "There is no imminent danger," Bordeaux mayor Nicolas Florian told France Bleu Radio."There is no cause for alarm, and no reason to panic."
"It is important to stress that there is no cause for alarm to the community," said Victoria Health Minister Jenny Mikakos."The patient is isolated and is undergoing treatment and we do not have any further suspected cases at this stage."
