The first U.S. case of polio since 2013 has been detected in New York
The patient, who has developed paralysis but is no longer contagious according to the AP, may have contracted the virus overseas. The CDC says no cases of polio have originated in the U.S. since 1979.
A case of polio has been detected in New York, the first instance of the virus in almost a decade.
The case was confirmed in a resident of Rockland County, about 36 miles north of New York
