原标题：美国疾控中心预计宣布新型冠状病毒在美首例感染案例 美国媒体CNN援引消息人士称，预计在当地时间周二下午，美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）公布新型冠状病毒首例在美感染案例。目前尚无法确认感染者是否曾前往中国，以及是否已传染至其他人。 First Wuhan Coronavirus Patient Identified in the United States 转载： A person in Washington State is infected with the Wuhan coronavirus, the first confirmed case in the United States of a mysterious respiratory infection that has killed at least six people and sickened hundreds more in Asia. The man is a resident of Snohomish County, Wash., who experienced symptoms after returning from a trip to the region around Wuhan, China, where the outbreak began. He was hospitalized with pneumonia last week, and infection with the coronavirus was confirmed on Monday afternoon. Local officials declined to identify the patient, who was said to be quite ill. News of the first case in the United States comes amid growing evidence that the virus spreads from person to person, although it is not clear how easily. The outbreak, which began in a seafood and poultry market in Wuhan, a city of 11 million, is spreading: Patients have been identified in Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, as well as Taiwan, Japan, Thailand and South Korea.
