New York City health officials have said they are testing two new people as suspected cases of coronavirus on Feb. 5, bringing to the total number of suspected cases in the city to four.
The two new patients, both under 40 years old, had recently traveled to China and were suffering from a “fever and cough or shortness of breath without another common cause, like influenza and other cold viruses,” the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene said in a statement.
