Patient could be first case of person-to-person transmission caused by the new coronavirus in the general public in the United States.
The head of a Sacramento health system says that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention did not immediately test a patient in what may be the first case of person-to-person transmission of COVID-19 in the general public in the United States.
"Since the patient did not fit the existing CDC criteria for COVID-19, a test was not immediately administered. UC Davis Health does not control the testing process," the two officials wrote in the letter. The patient had no known exposure to the virus through travel or close contact with a known infected individual, California's health department said.
