New coronavirus case in California is 'evidence of community transmission,' county health officials say

The Santa Clara Public Health Department announced a third case of coronavirus in the county possibly transmitted through community spread.

"This new case indicates that there is evidence of community transmission but the extent is still not clear," Dr. Sara Cody, director of the County of Santa Clara Public Health Department, said in a statement Friday. "I understand this may be concerning to hear, but this is what we have been preparing for. Now we need to start taking additional actions to slow down the spread of the disease.

"We also don't have any evidence to suggest this case is linked to any other case in California," Cody told reporters at a press conference. There are two other cases in the county, the health department said. But this one is different because the patient, an elderly woman, doesn't have a travel history or any known contact with a traveler or infected person.

U.S. health officials confirmed Wednesday the first suspected community transmission case in the U.S. — a resident of Solano County who's receiving medical care in Sacramento County.

It's why I wear gloves all the time in Northern California

SpeakerPelosi Very distressed now

Take two aspirins and call me in the morning

Black Monday... this is not good

Funny how this was known at 6am EST but CNBC waited til just before 8pm to tell us. All the while, they spent the morning trying to pump the FED will save us... 🙄

But Trump says it’s a hoax. He is a pillar of truth and wouldn’t lie.

Trump should back up free-testing the patients with coronavirus even though he might lose the election. what is the president for?

Is that near San Diego?

Again, Coronavirus is seeming like a bioweapon. If countries like China are taking it so seriously as to strictly implement lockdowns on millions of people, this is nothing like the ordinary flu. If USA is making companies make millions of masks, is no flu. Be careful.

when I spoke to them earlier they gave me a number to call, I called the number abs they said to just 'treat it like you would the flu' 🤦🏽‍♂️ we're doomed
