The novel coronavirus has probably been spreading undetected for about six weeks in Washington state, where the first U.S. death was reported this weekend. A genetic analysis suggests that the cases are linked through community transmission and that this has been going on for weeks, with hundreds of infections likely in the state.
Two new cases were confirmed in Washington state’s King County on Sunday, bringing that state’s total to eight. Rhode Island also announced its first probable case. If confirmed, it will be the second on the East Coast, after a previously announced case in Massachusetts. The Rhode Island patient is in his 40s and had traveled to Europe in mid-February.
The global death toll is climbing toward 3,000 on four continents. The first U.S. death, in Washington state, was man in his 50s with underlying health conditions, officials said. The patient had no recent travel history or contact with people known to be infected, officials said.

Wow, I am such a dumbass! Of course I would want to keep away from spas! Went to a spa two nights ago, without even thinking about the virus. I'm a hypochondriac as it is!

I wondered if she wore a mask before this quarantine or where she walked around the city.
Sorry, first reply was a bit rushed.

The Dept of Health is trying to determine her movements. Part of their follow up will be to monitor people she came in contact with when she returned. If needed, self quarantine requests will be extended. Forced quarantine may be possible for the sake of Public Safety. At this point, no one knows the extent of her exposure.

how about the people in the same plane??
Something for the Dept of Health to follow up on. The virus isn't the airborne kind, so little risk of the majority of the plane catching it. The major risks will be people sitting near her. If they touched anything she touched. Or if she had person to person contact with them.

plus, with the air circulated within the plane, I would be worry if I was on that plane.

For China? Most likely bad hygiene. You can come into contact with the virus. But if you don't wash your hands well before touching your face, you can let the virus enter your system. The virus being highly transmittable doesn't help.
