Nancy Messonnier, head of respiratory diseases at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said she was planning imminent changes on measures to control and track the deadly virus, beyond the current restrictions just on travelers arriving from the city Wuhan, which is at the epicenter of the outbreak.

"All the sequences we've extracted are similar to the one that China initially posted a couple of weeks ago," she said. The virus has also reached other Chinese provinces and China has announced that people who are infected can spread the disease before they show any symptoms of fever or respiratory difficulties."I expect that in the coming days, our travel recommendations will change," said Messonnier."I expect there will be a decision, and an announcement about that within the next day.""At this time in the US, this virus is not spreading in the community," Messonnier said.
