Fears of an outbreak in Washington deepen after a second patient in the state died from coronavirus.
The patient was a man in his 70s who was treated in the same facility where the first patient died a day earlier.
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.
