First U.S. Case of Coronavirus Confirmed
----------------------------------------

Experts at the World Health Organization are meeting today to decide
whether to declare a global health emergency, as the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention has confirmed the first U.S. case of coronavirus
- a new virus that emerged in Wuhan, China, last month. The virus has
already spread from China to at least four countries, including the
United States, and has killed at least nine people in China.
