In the states they are following 63 possible cases

Operator: This question comes from Issam Ahmed AFP. You may ask question. Your line is open.

Issam Ahmed: Out of the 63 cases on the investigation you mentioned, 11 tested negative. So just to get a breakdown, those 11 are out of the 63 and the two confirmed positives are out of the 63 total?

Dr. Messonnier: Yes, that’s correct, 63 is the total number of cases under investigation. As you know from other outbreaks, we use that term loosely to provide the number of people who we are doing an evaluation with. We think that number has gone up as a testament to the diligence of our partners at the local state level, the diligence of clinicians and those two patients self-identified potentially having exposure. Eleven negatives and two positives and the other patients’ samples are in the process of arriving or in the process of being tested here at the CDC. As you heard from Illinois, we are rapidly working at the CDC to get those tested out where they can meet closer to the patients to really try to as quickly as possible to be able to provide diagnoses.

Although Chinese officials have closed transport within and out of Wuhan, China, CDC will continue to conduct enhanced screening at five designated airports: New York JFK, San Francisco, LAX, Chicago O’Hare and Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson
