Coronavirus outbreak: Latest world news and live updates


A student from China, who is currently part of an exchange program at William Penn Charter School in Philadelphia, is being tested for the novel coronavirus, a health official said.

The exchange student’s flight to the US connected through Wuhan — ground zero for the virus — and while there, they presented to local health care officials with respiratory symptoms, according to James Garrow with the Philadelphia Department of Public Health.

Samples were taken from the student and sent to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for testing, Garrow said.

The student has been in isolation since being in care, and the other exchange students and their chaperones are being monitored for symptoms. So far, none have any.

Garrow said the exchange student has improved and is feeling well and they expect to hear back from the CDC with the test results within days.

According to the Philadelphia Department of Public Health, Philadelphia continues to have no confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus. 

CNN has reached out to the school for comment.

Foreldrene var gjester under fredagens «Late Night Show» på SKUP-konferansen, skriver Medier24 . Der fortalte de om presset de ble utsatt for da sønnen dukket opp i en IS-propagandavideo i Syria i 2014. Norsk-chileneren reiste til landet to år tidligere, etter å ha vært medlem av Profetens Ummah i Oslo. «Slik ble han alles fiende» lød ett av oppslagene i norske aviser. – Jeg vil snakke til alle dere journalister.
