Fear spread all over US after the second patient died in Washington , and 88 people are infected.

Both patient died in the same hospital, last one was 70 years old man from Washinton.

Twenty-three new cases of Covid-19, the illness caused by the virus, were reported in the US over the weekend, bringing the total to 88 cases.

The first two Covid-19 deaths on US soil prompted Washington State to declare a state of emergency.

New cases were reported in US states from coast to coast, in Washington, California, Oregon, Illinois, Florida, New York and Rhode Island.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo disclosed on Monday that the patient in his state is a 39-year-old female health care worker who had been in Iran before returning to the US last week.

The woman did not take public transportation and is not believed to have been contagious either on the plane or in the car returning home. Her spouse, also a healthcare worker, is being tested.

There is “no doubt” more cases will be identified, Mr Cuomo said, but urged against panic.

Also on Monday, officials in Florida said the two presumed cases in the state have been found in a man in his 60s and a woman in her 20s who had returned from Northern Italy.

The first of the US cases were announced on 21 January, with 65 cases in the country as of last Friday.
