A 13th person has been diagnosed with the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, in the U.S. 
China also calls the disease novel coronavirus pneumonia, or NCP.

The patient who is in San Diego County, was evacuated from Wuhan and had been under a 14-day federal quarantine.

According to UC San Diego Health, the patient showed minimal symptoms and had been released. The CDC said the patient had been sent back to quarantine after a possible mix-up with test results.
