The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that there are 34 people who have tested positive for coronavirus in the United States as of Feb. 21, according to an article on the CNN website.
This includes 21 cases of returning travelers, as well as 13 U.S. cases.
The 21 repatriated include 18 former passengers of the Diamond Princess cruise ship that docked in Japan, plus three who had been previously evacuated from China.
There are 10 additional passengers among the Diamond Princess evacuees who tested positive for the virus in Japan. They will likely be added to the official U.S. count.
