The ill person is the husband of a Chicago woman who got sick from the virus after she returned from China. Wuhan, China is the center of an outbreak of the illness.
The man and woman, who both are in their 60s, are stable and isolated at a hospital. Officials reiterated that the man hasn’t attended any mass gatherings, and the illness is not currently spreading across a community.
Doctors in the U.S. have been monitoring the people who had close contact with the five case initially reported in the country because they expected the virus to spread person-to-person.
