Two people who died in California in early and mid-February were confirmed Tuesday as coronavirus cases. The first of those deaths came weeks before what was thought to be the first COVID-19 fatality in the United States. The earliest US death attributed to the new coronavirus was previously thought to have been on February 26 in Kirkland, Washington. 当地时间周二（4月21日），于2月初和2月中旬在加利福尼亚州去世的两名美国人被确认为新冠病毒感染死亡病例。其中，2月初的死亡病例比此前认为的美国首例死亡病例还要早几周。此前，美国首例新冠病毒感染死亡病例被认为于2月26日发生在华盛顿州柯克兰。 Autopsies on the two individuals who died at home on February 6 and February 17 showed they succumbed to COVID-19, the Santa Clara County coroner said, after receiving confirmation from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 在收到美国疾病控制和预防中心的确认后，美国加利福尼亚州圣克拉拉县的验尸官说，对2月6日和2月17日在家死亡的两名美国人的尸体解剖显示，他们因新冠病毒感染死亡。 |
