Corona in Bay area - be careful


Pacifist

Recommended Posts

This is the first case in the county and the first known case in the Bay Area.

The Santa Clara County Health Department held a press conference at 2 p.m. in San Jose to provide more information on the case.

The patient is a resident in Santa Clara County, the health department said.

The patient had traveled to Wuhan, China and traveled home on Jan. 24.

He arrived home to the San Jose airport.

He has not left his home and has had very few contacts since his return, a county official said.

The county said he came into contact with “very few” people since returning to the U.S. from China and has been “self-isolating.”

The county assured the case does not heighten the risk of coronavirus to the general public in Santa Clara County.

This is the third case of coronavirus in California.

The announcement came shortly after the U.S. declared a public health emergency because of the new virus.
