A Los Angeles County resident is believed to be the first juvenile to have died from the novel coronavirus in the United States.

洛杉矶郡的一位居民被认为是美国第一个死于新型冠状病毒的青少年。

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti told CNN the person was a teenager.

Garcetti says this fatality shows that the virus can affect young people, not just people with preexisting conditions.

洛杉矶市市长埃里克·加塞蒂告诉CNN，此人是一名青少年。加塞蒂说，这起死亡事件表明，病毒可以影响年轻人，而不仅仅是有基础性疾病的人。

“这仍然涉及到人们的死亡，”他说，“有可能是你，即使不是，也可能是你爱的人。”

The teen lived in Lancaster, California, according to county officials. Health director Dr. Barbara Ferrer said it is unclear how the person contracted Covid-19, the disease caused by the virus.

据郡政府官员说，这名青少年住在加州兰开斯特。卫生主管芭芭拉·费雷尔博士说，目前尚不清楚此人是如何感染新冠肺炎的。
