The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Feb. 3 confirmed a second case of human-to-human transmission of the novel coronavirus within the United States.
CDC officials warned of further cases of human transmission after it was announced that a central California couple, both 57 years old, had been sickened by the virus after the husband traveled to the city of Wuhan—the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak in China. The wife didn’t travel to China, confirming she caught the virus from her husband at their home in San Benito County, officials said in a release (pdf).
