Health officials in California, Oregon and Washington state worried about the novel coronavirus
spreading through West Coast communities after confirming three patients were infected by unknown means.
The patients — an older Northern California woman with chronic health conditions, a high school student
in Everett, Washington and an employee at a Portland, Oregon-area school — hadn’t recently traveled
overseas or had any known close contact with a traveler or an infected person, authorities said.
