“As of this morning, we still had only 14 cases of the novel coronavirus detected in the United States involving travel to or close contacts with travelers,” Azar told members of the House Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee. “Coming into this hearing, I was informed that we have a 15th confirmed case, the epidemiology of which we are still discerning,” said The Hills.
