A second person in the US has been diagnosed with the deadly coronavirus, US officials say.

The patient is a woman in her 60s who had returned home to Chicago from Wuhan in China - where the outbreak began - on 13 January.

This comes as Taiwan on Friday confirmed two more cases of infection from the virus, bringing the total number of confirmed cases in Taiwan to three.

The two new cases were a Chinese woman in her 50s and a Taiwanese man in his 50s, according to Taiwan's Central Epidemic Command Center.
