BREAKING:?The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been informed of the first case of the coronavirus in a person who did not recently return from a foreign country or have contact with a confirmed case, according to a person briefed on the case. Officials have begun tracing the contacts of the resident to find out how the person may have been infected and who else might have been exposed.


From WaPo. The way it reads is a little funny. The CDC has been informed? Shouldn't that work the other way around?

Perhaps the California health department or local health department caught this first and informed the CDC?

Probably ct scan confirmed. I believe the cdc is the only place for lab test

CDC is the megaphone function. Someone tells them and they spread the info.

The way this is worded is stupid. There's some connection to an infected person they just haven't traced it yet.
