Coronavirus infections are also being treated in Switzerland, the Netherlands, Sweden, Belgium, Iceland, Austria, Croatia, Greece, Finland, Belarus and the Czech Republic.
The World Health Organization (WHO) is tackling the epidemic as a global emergency.
But the good news is health authorities are confident the novel virus can be contained, unlike more virulent pathogens like the influenza virus.
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Tuesday: “This virus is not SARS, it’s not MERS, and it’s not influenza.
“It is a unique virus with unique characteristics.”
