CDC is responding to an outbreak of respiratory illness caused by a novel (new) coronavirus. The outbreak first started in Wuhan, China, but cases have been identified in a growing number of other locations internationally, including the United States.

As of the evening of March 9, 79 state and local public health labs in 50 states and the District of Columbia have successfully verified and are currently using COVID-19 diagnostic tests.


  • Total cases: 647
  • Total deaths: 25
  • Jurisdictions reporting cases: 36 (includes District of Columbia)


* Data include both confirmed and presumptive positive cases of COVID-19 reported to CDC or tested at CDC since January 21, 2020, with the exception of testing results for persons repatriated to the United States from Wuhan, China and Japan. State and local public health departments are now testing and publicly reporting their cases.

There is an ongoing investigation to determine more about this outbreak. This is a rapidly evolving situation and information will be updated as it becomes available.

On January 30, 2020, the International Health Regulations Emergency Committee of the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a “public health emergency of international concern” (PHEIC).

On January 31, 2020, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex M. Azar II declared a public health emergency (PHE) for the United States to aid the nation’s healthcare community in responding to COVID-19.

In addition to CDC, many public health laboratories are now testing for the virus that causes COVID-19.

With this increase in testing, more and more states are reporting cases of COVID-19 to CDC.
U.S. COVID-19 cases include:
  • Imported cases in travelers
  • Cases among close contacts of a known case
  • Community-acquired cases where the source of the infection is unknown.

Outbreaks of novel virus infections among people are always of public health concern. The risk to the general public from these outbreaks depends on characteristics of the virus, including how well it spreads between people; the severity of resulting illness; and the medical or other measures available to control the impact of the virus (for example, vaccines or medications that can treat the illness). That this disease has caused severe illness, including illness resulting in death is concerning, especially since it has also shown sustained person-to-person spread in several places. These factors meet two of the criteria of a pandemic. As community spread is detected in more and more countries, the world moves closer toward meeting the third criteria, worldwide spread of the new virus.

It is important to note that current circumstances suggest it is likely that this virus will cause a pandemic. This is a rapidly evolving situation and CDC’s risk assessment will be updated as needed.

Current risk assessment:

  • For the majority of people, the immediate risk of being exposed to the virus that causes COVID-19 is thought to be low. There is not widespread circulation in most communities in the United States.
  • People in places where ongoing community spread of the virus that causes COVID-19 has been reported are at elevated risk of exposure, with increase in risk dependent on the location.
  • Healthcare workers caring for patients with COVID-19 are at elevated risk of exposure.
  • Close contacts of persons with COVID-19 also are at elevated risk of exposure.

Travelers returning from affected international locations where community spread is occurring also are at elevated risk of exposure, with increase in risk dependent on location.

CDC has developed guidance to help in the risk assessment and management of people with potential exposures to COVID-19.
 
More cases of COVID-19 are likely to be identified in the United States in the coming days, including more instances of community spread.

  • It’s likely that at some point, widespread transmission of COVID-19 in the United States will occur.
  • Widespread transmission of COVID-19 would translate into large numbers of people needing medical care at the same time.
  • Schools, childcare centers, and workplaces, may experience more absenteeism.
  • Mass gatherings may be sparsely attended or postponed.
  • Public health and healthcare systems may become overloaded, with elevated rates of hospitalizations and deaths.
  • Other critical infrastructure, such as law enforcement, emergency medical services, and sectors of the transportation industry may also be affected. Healthcare providers and hospitals may be overwhelmed.
  • At this time, there is no vaccine to protect against COVID-19 and no medications approved to treat it.
  • Nonpharmaceutical interventions would be the most important response strategy.

CDC established a COVID-19 Incident Management System on January 7, 2020.

On January 21, CDC activated its Emergency Operations Center to better provide ongoing support to the COVID-19 response.

The U.S. government has taken unprecedented steps with respect to travel in response to the growing public health threat posed by this new coronavirus:

  • Foreign nationals who have been in China or Iran within the past 14 days cannot enter the United States.
  • U.S. citizens, residents, and their immediate family members who have been in China or Iran within in the past 14 days can enter the United States, but they are subject to health monitoring and possible quarantine for up to 14 days.
  • On March 8, CDC recommended that people at higher risk of serious COVID-19 illness avoid cruise travel and non-essential air travel.
  • Additionally, CDC has issued the following additional specific travel guidance related to COVID-19.

CDC has issued clinical guidance, including:

  • On January 30, CDC published guidance for healthcare professionals on the clinical care of COVID-19 patients.
  • On February 3, CDC posted guidance for assessing the potential risk for various exposures to COVID-19 and managing those people appropriately.
  • On February 27, CDC updated its criteria to guide evaluation of persons under investigation for COVID-19.
  • On March 8, CDC issued a Health Alert Network (HAN).


CDC has deployed multidisciplinary teams to support state health departments case identification, contact tracing, clinical management, and public communications.
