New York City health officials said they’re testing two new patients as suspected cases of coronavirus on Feb. 2, bringing the city’s total for patients being checked for the virus to three.
Both new patients, who are over 60 years old, recently arrived from China and have a “fever and cough or shortness of breath without another common cause, like influenza and other cold viruses,” the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene said in a statement.
