Washington State has been under a state of emergency since Saturday as health officials work to determine how many people may have been infected with or exposed to COVID-19 in recent weeks. Some of the cases in the state have no known link to previous outbreaks or infected persons, indicating that the virus has been spreading undetected in multiple American communities.
On Sunday, state health officials confirmed the second coronavirus death in the state . Earlier in the day, the state had confirmed two new coronavirus cases, both men in their 60s who were hospitalized in critical condition. Ten of the state’s 13 confirmed COVID-19 cases lived in King County, near Seattle. As of Monday, six people with the virus were in critical condition.
Washington State governor Jay Inslee declared a state of emergency in response to the outbreak, and state officials are already considering banning large events in an effort to prevent the spread of the virus. In King County, local officials have purchased a motel to use as an isolation center. Georgia: Two travel-linked cases found Georgia officials announced on Monday night that two residents had tested positive for COVID-19 — both from the same household in Atlanta. One of the people had recently returned from Italy, meaning the cases were not the result of community transmission.
Texas governor Greg Abbott has also worked to block any further release of people from quarantine and demanded that the CDC retest all of them. New York: A health-care worker returning from Iran knew what to do Governor Andrew Cuomo announced New York State’s first confirmed coronavirus case on Sunday night. A 39-year-old Manhattan woman who had recently traveled to Iran tested positive for the disease, and health officials expect that her husband, who made the same trip, will also soon test positive.
As of Sunday, 32 people in New York had been tested for the coronavirus, and more tests are being conducted after two public-health labs in the city and another in Albany have begun testing over the weekend. “The general level of risk for Rhode Islanders is low,” Governor Gina M. Raimondo said on Sunday. “There’s no need for panic. There’s no need to be frightened.”
The third infected resident, like the first, is considered a case of community transmission. Neither had any know links to other outbreaks or infected persons, and state officials are still working to determine who else has been exposed to the coronavirus. The El Camino nurse, who did not want to be identified, said staff were frustrated and worried about the lack of available tests from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as protective gear such as n 95 respirator masks to protect health care workers treating the sick. The nurse said a doctor and several emergency room staff have been quarantined.
