Seven people in New York State have been identified for being tested for the coronavirus out of Wuhan, China as of Sunday.

Three cases have been confirmed as negative, as results for four others are still pending. There are 5 confirmed cases total in the United States -- Arizona, California, Washington State, and Illinois.

"While the experts still believe the risk of catching this novel coronavirus is currently low in New York, I want all New Yorkers to know we are prepared and continue to take all necessary steps to keep people informed and safe," said Governor Andrew Cuomo.

New York State Health Commissioner Dr. Howard Zucker says he encourages all New Yorkers to take precautions against illness. Chinese officials have since closed transportation in and out of Wuhan, China.

Symptoms of the novel coronavirus include running nose, headache, cough, sore throat, and fever.

There is currently no vaccine for the virus, but officials suggest taking action to prevent the spread of all respiratory viruses. This includes washing your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds, using alcohol-based hand sanitizer, avoiding touching your face with unwashed hands, keeping out of contact with people who are sick, and staying home while sick.
