BREAKING: US Confirms 13th American With Coronavirus

A thirteenth American has been diagnosed with the deadly coronavirus infection spreading around the globe, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) officials said Tuesday.

The patient, of undisclosed sex and age, was under federal quarantine in California after returning from travel in Wuhan, China.

It comes as the first 195 Americans evacuated from the city, which is the epicenter of the outbreak, were set to be released from federal quarantine on March Air Base in California on Tuesday.

As of yet, it remains unclear whether the newly-diagnosed patient was among this first batch of quarantined people, or if they may have exposed others to the virus.
