Quotes from article:
The New York Times is engaged in a comprehensive effort to track details about every confirmed case in the United States, collecting information from federal, state and local officials around the clock. The numbers in this article are being updated several times a day based on the latest information our journalists are gathering from around the country.
The number of patients treated in the United States remains a small fraction of those with the virus overseas, where thousands of people have died and tens of thousands have been infected.

The West Coast has been hit hard.
Health officials in California, Oregon and Washington State have seen the virus turning up in people who have not traveled overseas and have warned that the virus was spreading within the local community. Officials in some places have urged residents, especially older people, to avoid large gatherings.
Officials in Santa Clara County, Calif., where dozens have become ill with the virus and one person has died, announced a ban on large gatherings. And leaders in the nursing home industry on Tuesday called on nursing homes and assisted living centers to curtail most social visits and even take steps to keep some employees away.
“This is a critical moment in the growing outbreak,” Dr. Sara Cody, Santa Clara County’s health officer,
said in announcing the ban. “The strong measures we are taking today are designed to slow the spread of disease.”

But many U.S. patients — and more every day — have been diagnosed without any history of overseas travel, signaling that the illness was circulating within the United States and that people were being exposed in schools, offices and medical facilities.
New York: 173 cases have been identified.
Since announcing their first case of coronavirus on March 1, health officials in New York State have raced to contain the virus’s spread as the number of confirmed diagnoses has surged past 100.
A large percentage of those cases have been traced to a man from Westchester County who attended public gatherings before knowing he had the coronavirus.
In addition to Westchester County, patients were being treated in several New York City boroughs, on Long Island and in Rockland, Saratoga and Ulster Counties.
