A traveller from China has been diagnosed in Seattle with the new coronavirus, a spokesperson from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said on Tuesday.
The news was first reported by CNN.
More details will be released in a news conference Tuesday afternoon, CDC spokesman Benjamin Haynes told Reuters.
The death toll from the outbreak has risen to six in China's central city of Wuhan, the city's mayor told state television earlier Tuesday.
The total of 258 cases had been confirmed in the city by the end of Monday, Zhou Xianwang said in an interview.
Separately, China's eastern Zhejiang provincial health authority said a total of five cases of new coronavirus were confirmed as of noon Tuesday local time. Chongqing city also confirmed five cases of infection, the city's health authority said on Tuesday.
The death toll from a mysterious flu-like virus in China climbed to six on Tuesday as new cases surged beyond 300 and authorities fretted about the added risk from millions of Chinese traveling for the Lunar New Year holiday.
The World Health Organization (WHO) warned Tuesday that the new coronavirus was likely to spread to other parts of China and possibly other countries in the coming days.
"More cases should be expected in other parts of China and possibly other countries in the coming days," said WHO spokesperson Tarik Jasarevic.
