There are 470 cases of the novel coronavirus in the US, according to the state and local health agencies, governments and the CDC. Follow live updates.
Surgeon general says he thinks coronavirus is contained in certain areas of the countrySurgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams told Jake Tapper on CNN’s “State of the Union” today that he thinks the outbreak of the coronavirus is being contained in certain areas.
This claim comes as the number of cases has risen to more than 440 in the US. There have been 19 deaths and cases now span 32 states and the District of Columbia. “If we had massive numbers of cases we would be seeing more deaths. And so we actually feel pretty good that some parts of the country have contained it just like when you look at the flu. And when we look at the the flu tracker, some parts of the country are having much more severe flu seasons. Some are having very mild flu seasons. The same thing for Coronavirus,” Adams said.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said the passengers aboard the Grand Princess cruise ship, currently off the coast of California, should “absolutely not” be left on the ship. Fauci made those comments on “Fox News Sunday.”On Friday, the President said he did not want the passengers getting off the ship but did say he was leaving the final decision up to his advisers.
The US Department of Health and Human Services announced today that the passengers will be transferred to federal military installations after the ship docks Monday.
