The coronavirus incubation period is between two and 14 days, the virus hasn’t mutated, and “it is similar to a bat coronavirus,” the latest research finds.
At least 110 people in 26 states have been identified as persons under investigation for coronavirus, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officials said Monday, as global markets struggled to perform against growing concerns about the outbreak.
In the U.S., 2,400 people have been screened in airports. However, the first two cases to be identified in the U.S. were asymptomatic when they arrived in the U.S. after traveling to Wuhan. Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, said during a call with reporters that other individuals had been detected at U.S.
There is one less thing for Americans to worry about: Health officials said that concerns about whether the virus may be transported to the U.S. on imported goods from China are likely overblown. China is the U.S.’s largest supplier of goods, with imports totaling $539.5 billion in 2018. However, the coronavirus is “most often spread by respiratory droplets,” Messennier said.
