As the number of confirmed coronavirus infections continues to grow worldwide, cases have now been confirmed in at least 65 countries, with the death toll surpassing 3,000. The first two fatalities on U.S. soil were reported over the weekend in Washington state, and there are now at least 89 cases in the U.S., with New York, Oregon, Rhode Island and Florida reporting new infections.
