Washington Gov. Jay Inslee on first confirmed case of coronavirus reported in U.S.: 'The risk is low to residents of the state of Washington.' 'This is certainly not a moment for panic or high anxiety. It is a moment for vigilance.'
At least six people have died, according to officials.
The virus, in the same family as SARS, MERS and the common cold, often circulates among animals. It can jump from animal to human, and in rare cases can mutate and spread from person to person. The key information, according to Messonnier, will be determining how easily the virus can spread from person to person.
