First positive case of coronavirus in NYC, Governor Cuomo confirms [View all]
NEW YORK -- The first case of coronavirus has been reported in New York State, Governor Cuomo confirms.
"This evening we learned of the first positive case of novel coronavirus - or COVID-19 - in New York State. The patient, a woman in her late thirties, contracted the virus while traveling abroad in Iran, and is currently isolated in her home. The patient has respiratory symptoms, but is not in serious condition and has been in a controlled situation since arriving to New York.
The female patient is not life threatening and has self-quarantined at her Manhattan home since returning from Iran. The investigative process will now begin to determine when she arrived, find any people she traveled with, and locate them.
