The spike protein (foreground) enables the virus to enter and infect human cells. On the virus model, the virus surface (blue) is covered with spike proteins (red) that enable the virus to enter and infect human cells. US health officials announced on 29 February 2020 the first confirmed death from the new coronavirus in the country in Washington State.
