The tragic milestone comes just four months after the government confirmed the first case of COVID-19 in the United States
The first known case in America was, just outside of Seattle, in a man who had recently returned from Wuhan.
The number of cases grew slowly from there, with a total of just 14 over the course of about a month, but as February came to an end, the virus began to spread more rapidly in communities across the U.S.— meaning someone had contracted coronavirus despite no recent travel, and had likely unknowingly come in contact with someone with the virus. From there, the number of U.S. cases jumped significantly, particularly in densely-populated areas in New York and Michigan.
