JUST IN: Gov. Brian Kemp and officials with the Georgia Department of Public Health announced Monday night that two Fulton County residents are Georgia's first COVID-19 cases.

The S&P 500 index rose 135 points, or 4.6%, to 3,089 on Monday and the Nasdaq added 384 points, or 4.5%, to 8,952.The U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services said none of its staffers who were involved with bringing back ex-pats from China were exposed to the virus, but that it is investigatingthat alleged they weren’t properly trained and didn’t wear any protection.

Dr. Jeff Duchin, the health officer for the state's Department of Public Health, said among the newly reported deaths are a man and woman in their 70s who had underlying conditions. They were residents of LifeCare, a nursing facility that had several confirmed cases and one previous death, according to Duchin.A woman in her 80s who was hospitalized Sunday night also succumbed to the virus, according to Duchin.

The second patient is a woman in her 20s from Hillsborough County who recently returned from a trip to Italy, the state surgeon general said. She is currently isolated in her home. In the meantime, the Pentagon will work with military families to ensure they stay safe at bases locally and abroad, the defense secretary said.

"But we need to see this in perspective," he added, noting that a vast majority of countries with cases have not demonstrated community-level transmission and about 90% of all confirmed cases were reported in China, mostly in a single province.There also isn't a"one-size fits all approach" to fighting the outbreak, Tedros said, because"different countries are in different scenarios.

The employee, who works in the WHO Country Office in Iran, has"mild disease," Tedros told reporters at Monday's daily briefing in Geneva. Health officials don't believe the woman was contagious when she flew back to New York City and took a private car home. But out of an abundance of caution, Cuomo said health officials are contacting the woman's livery driver as well as the other passengers who were on her plane.

I understand but I hope that scene never happens here

It's crazy when u think of it watching a game without a crowd would be totally different experience. hearing the teams speaking to each other as they play it might make it more interesting.

So are they going to play preseason games and regular season games with no one in attendance? Just cancel the season.

Eeeeeeerie.

you know i'd really like to hear what baseball sounds like in an empty stadium rather than this dumb Disney-fied music you put under every video you post

Alabama must be having a melt down right now... COVID19 Georgia

Very sad response by the world to a virus that is not cured by antibiotics & has no vaccine. While this may not be so bad for some it is deadly to others. Countries being more concerned about the next deadly weapon they can actually see & not the one they can't is unsettling.

Unfortunately this is bound to happen. When you have a airport that deals with international flights and people come in from cruises they initially will check out fine for any viral symptoms but later they can expose more than a handful of people. The best bet wash hands

bannerite This is scary

Family members - one returned from Italy

why dosn't she have eye protection

First two they know about ... 😷

Where do the other 198 passengers live that agreed to self-quarenteen? GovKemp CDC not disclosing. No idea which areas in state are vulnerable. gapol

This is not “under control”.

This is disgusting. Today Trump is asking pharma people on the coronavirus task force if the flu vaccine will just work on Coronavirus.

Our government is lying to us. Pop ups on twitter direct us to CDC for facts. CDC is not being updated. It shows 2 US deaths and only 43 cases. Other sites show 6 deaths and 103 cases.

What kind of mask is she wearing? Looks like a surgeons mask with a respirator on top

acharya2 hushaaru.

So asinine to let people fly in from Italy to Atlanta. Where are those tests....CDC ?

I thought staceyabrams was the Governor of Georgia.

And the said there was no plan to screen anyone coming to the ATL airport from Level 3 countries. “Why would we do that if they aren’t showing symptoms?”

This really what we got to you all? People couldn’t just sit their happy asses down?

Is that one of cult gathering ground

Damn, Georgia now

But we need to close the border 😂😂😂 it’s already in the country what’s the purpose 😂stupid in office
