LOS ANGELES⁠—In Southern California, healthcare professionals are working to catch any other potential cases of coronavirus after two confirmed cases in the region.

Health officials confirmed both patients—one in Los Angeles County and one in Orange County—had traveled to Wuhan, China, the center of the outbreak. The outbreak corresponded with peak travel season in Asia as people celebrated the Chinese New Year on Jan. 25.
