Iran Press/ America: 49 cases are repatriated from abroad: three from the Chinese city of Wuhan, where the outbreak began, and 46 from the Diamond Princess cruise ship in Japan.
21 cases are from the Grand Princess cruise ship, currently docked in quarantine off the California coast.
494 cases across 34 states and Washington, DC, were detected and confirmed on US soil.
These tallies include presumptive positive cases -- meaning the patients tested positive in a public health lab, and their results are pending confirmation from the CDC lab.
California, Washington, and New York are reporting the most cases of coronavirus so far.

South Korea sees a decrease in cases
South Korea is seeing an apparent slowdown in the number of new cases per day -- but there may be other factors at play, and it's too early to say the infection itself is slowing, according to South Korean officials.
On Sunday, the country reported the lowest number of new infections per day since February 26.
This is the lowest number of new daily infections since February 26.
Kim Ganglip, Deputy of Central Disaster Relief Headquarters, spoke about the slowdown at a press briefing, but warned that there are still sporadic cluster infections in facilities such as nursing homes and residential complexes.
There may also be other reasons for this perceived slowdown in coronavirus infections -- bad weather conditions over the weekend may have caused fewer people to leave home to get tested, leading to a decrease in case numbers.
South Korea has the most coronavirus cases outside of China, and has been fighting the outbreak for weeks with aggressive measures like widespread early testing.
Nearly 16 million people are under lockdown in Italy
Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte signed a decree early Sunday that enforces sweeping quarantine measures across most of Italy's northern regions in response to the coronavirus outbreak.
The decree, which went into effect on Sunday, impacts the lives of nearly 16 million people.
The unprecedented move places travel restrictions on the entire Lombardy region, as well as 14 other provinces.
The lockdown is the toughest control measure to be implemented outside of mainland China since the emergence of the virus in December last year.
The lockdown areas, or "red zones," are subject to strict measures, including the cancellation of all public events, civil and religious ceremonies, closure of schools and universities, and the cancellation of sporting events.
The rest of Italy is also subject to less-restrictive preventative measures. 211/104
