The 14th person has been diagnosed with the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, in the U.S. on Wednesday, according to the country's Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

The patient who is in California was evacuated recently from central China's Wuhan City and had been under a 14-day federal quarantine.

A previous coronavirus case was reported a few days earlier among the same group of evacuees, the CDC said.
