A person in northern California who has not traveled internationally recently came down with coronavirus this week.

The patient did not have contact with any known people with coronavirus.

Doctors do not know how he caught the virus or from whom.

And now this —

The patient was sent home last week after he went to the hospital.

And the CDC refused requests to check him for coronavirus despite requests from local health officials.
