Summary
Covid-19 was first confirmed to have spread to the United States in January 2020. Cases have been confirmed in all 50 U.S. states and several territories.[1] As of March 22, the U.S. has the second highest number of active cases in the world (26,382), only after Italy (42,681).[2] The first known case of COVID-19 in the U.S. was confirmed on January 20, 2020, in a 35-year-old man who had returned from Wuhan, China five days earlier.[3] The government first began testing persons for the virus infection in February, but soon after, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that the test kits were defective and gave inaccurate readings, thus rendering them useless.[4]
The CDC warned that widespread transmission may force large numbers of people to seek hospitalization and other healthcare, which may overload healthcare systems.[5] As of March 22, some states (such as California) have imposed shelter-in-place restrictions, but the federal government hasn't imposed further restrictions, but has advised against any gathering of more than 10 people.[6]
