Oregon Earlier Friday evening, Oregon state health officials announced that a resident of Washington County was a “presumptive” case of the coronavirus. The patient, who began feeling symptoms on February 19, “is employed at a school in Clackamas County and may have exposed students and staff there,” Oregon Health Authority Director Patrick Allen said.
California And on Friday afternoon in California, Santa Clara County Public Health Director Dr. Sara Cody announced that the woman, who is 65, has chronic health conditions, and had been hospitalized for a respiratory illness, was tested after her infectious disease physician suspected she might have the coronavirus and called county officials on Wednesday. The county public health laboratory confirmed that suspicion the next day.
That means that as of Friday, there have been 68 confirmed cases of the coronavirus in the U.S., including 45 passengers from the Princess Diamond. And that total now includes four confirmed cases with no known link to an outbreak or someone infected with the virus. Health officials don’t yet know how many more people have been exposed to the virus in these communities.
The Mercury News reported that the infected woman was a patient at El Camino hospital in Mountain View, according to a nurse who works there:
