U.S. officials are working to prevent an outbreak of the new coronavirus in a country outside of China, the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said on Friday, as the United States said it was prepared to spend up to $100 million to help China and other impacted countries.
“I can say that we’re on a close watch around the world to see: Is there another country to starts to get what we call sustained human-to-human transmission,” Dr. Robert Redfield, the CDC director, said at a press conference in Washington.
