It is both predictable yet awful that North Carolina’s first confirmed coronavirus case is directly linked to the outbreak underway at the senior care facility in Washington state.
The victim is a woman who spent time at the care facility. We don’t know for what reason. She took a commercial flight to get back to North Carolina. The state in now beginning the onerous task of tracing all of her contacts.
She is said to be doing well and is self-isolating at home.
North Carolina just began testing yesterday. Today it confirmed its first case.
Wash your hands.
Don’t touch your face.
Take care of yourselves and others.
