A Washington man who was the first in the United States to be diagnosed with the deadly Wuhan coronavirus is now being held in isolation, where he is treated mostly by a robot doctor equipped with a stethoscope.
As CNN reported, the man was diagnosed with the virus on Monday after having recently traveled to Wuhan, China. He arrived at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on January 15, before health screenings were set up at U.S. airports in an effort to identify people who might be infected and stop the spread of the disease. After going to an urgent care clinic on January 19 and eventually being taken to Providence Regional Medical Center, the man was put in isolation where he has been in contact with only a limited number of medical workers.
