Arizona, California cases push US tally of new virus to 5

The U.S. has five confirmed cases of the new virus from China, all among people who traveled to the city at the center of the outbreak, health officials said Sunday. Two new cases were reported Sunday — one in Los Angeles County in California and the other in Maricopa County, Arizona. The latter case was someone with ties to Arizona State University who did not live in school housing, state health officials said. Officials with the Arizona Department of Health Service didn't immediately release the gender or age of the Maricopa County patient, but said the person wasn't severely ill and was in isolation to keep the illness from spreading.
