一种新型冠状病毒已经在包括美国在内的至少八个国家得到证实，官员们警告说可能会发现更多病例。

这种病毒被称为2019-nCoV，起源于中国武汉，于12月首次报道。官员们仍在了解这种病毒，因为它以前从未在人类身上被检测到，但他们说它最像严重急性呼吸系统综合症。

世界卫生组织(世卫组织)总干事特德罗斯·阿德诺姆·盖特布雷耶苏斯(Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus)召集了一个由成员和顾问组成的紧急委员会，以评估局势，并决定是否有必要宣布一个引起国际关注的公共卫生紧急情况。该委员会在是否符合PHEIC资格的问题上意见不一，但周四它宣布现在发表声明还为时过早。

委员会认为它不合格的部分原因是因为中国境外的案件数量有限。中国以外的每个病人都是从武汉旅行过来的，到目前为止没有证据表明病毒在中国境外的人之间传播。

周四，盖布雷耶苏斯报告说，中国已经有575例冠状病毒病例。这包括17例死亡，大部分涉及那些有潜在健康状况削弱免疫系统的人。

美国

在美国发现了两例新菌株。周五，疾病控制和预防中心宣布，它已经确认了伊利诺伊州的第二次感染。

患者于1月13日从武汉返回，几天后开始出现症状。据报道，这位尚未确认身份的患者目前情况良好，但仍在隔离病房住院，以限制感染扩散的风险。

疾控中心表示，美国首例病例已于周二确诊，还涉及一名最近访问武汉后回国的人。该病例发生在华盛顿州，疾控中心预计在未来几天和几周内会有更多病例。然而，该机构重申，美国公众面临的直接风险被认为很低。

WHERE ARE THE CASES OF CORONAVIRUS? VIRUS HAS SPREAD TO EIGHT COUNTRIES ON THREE CONTINENTS

Anovel strain of the coronavirus has been confirmed in at least eight countries, including the United States, and officials are warning that more cases will likely be discovered.

The virus, known as 2019-nCoV, originated in Wuhan, China, and was first reported in December. Officials are still learning about the virus, as it hasn't been detected in humans before, but they say it most closely resembles severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS.

World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus convened an emergency committee of members and advisers to assess the situation and decide if it warranted declaring a public health emergency of international concern. The committee had been divided as to whether it qualified as a PHEIC, but on Thursday it announced it was too early to make the declaration.

Part of the reason the committee didn't think it qualified was because of the limited number of cases outside of China. Every patient outside of China was someone who had traveled from Wuhan, and so far there is no evidence of the virus being transmitted between people beyond China's borders.

China

On Thursday, Ghebreyesus reported there have been 575 cases of the coronavirus in China. That includes 17 deaths, mostly involving people who had underlying health conditions that weakened their immune systems.

The United States

Two cases of the new strain have been detected in the United States. On Friday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced it had confirmed a second infection, in Illinois.

The patient had returned from Wuhan on January 13 and began experiencing symptoms a few days later. The patient, who hasn't been identified, is reportedly doing well but remains hospitalized in an isolated room to limit the risk of the infection spreading.

The CDC said the first U.S. case was confirmed on Tuesday and also involved someone who recently returned home after a visit to Wuhan. That case is in Washington state, and the CDC expects there will be more cases in the coming days and weeks. However, the agency reiterated that the immediate risk to the American public is believed to be low.

A group of Chinese tourists walks outside the arrival lobby at Japan's Narita Airport on January 24. The new strain of coronavirus has now spread to three continents and eight different countries.

Japan

Two cases of coronavirus have been discovered in Japan, according to The Washington Post. The most recent case involved a man in his 40s who is from Wuhan. He had traveled to Japan on Sunday on a flight that went through Hong Kong.

South Korea

On Monday, South Korea reported its first case of the coronavirus, according to the WHO. The patient, a 35-year-old female who lives in Wuhan, was in stable condition.

Singapore

Singapore has had 44 suspected cases of the coronavirus, according to the Ministry of Health. Of those cases, three people tested positive, 13 were negative and 28 are still pending.

Thailand

On Friday, Thailand's deputy public health minister, Satit Pitutecha, confirmed that a fifth case was detected in a female tourist from China, according to the Bangkok Post. Two other patients are under quarantine for the virus, the newspaper said.

Vietnam

On Thursday, Vietnam's Ministry of Health confirmed that two Chinese citizens in Vietnam tested positive for coronavirus, according to Reuters. The patients were a father and son and had recently arrived in Vietnam from Wuhan.

France

On Friday, France became the first country in Europe to confirm cases of the coronavirus, according to BBC News. One case was found in Bordeaux, in southwestern France, and another was found in the Paris area.
