NEW YORK CITY (WABC) -- Right now, nearly 4,000 people under self-quarantine in just New York City. As we tape this interview Friday afternoon, we have almost a handful of confirmed cases in New York City, and health experts predict the numbers will grow.

Nationally the number of confirmed cases is already in the hundreds thanks to the concept of community spread; people getting infected who haven't traveled.

Today we talk to ABC's Dr. Jen Ashton about what we know and what we don't know when it comes to the novel coronavirus and what we can do to protect ourselves.
