Three people in Long Beach are believed to have contracted coronavirus after testing positive for the novel strain that has sickened thousands of people worldwide. They are the first reported cases in the city.
Preliminary test results indicated two men and one woman had contracted the disease, city officials said Monday evening. But the cases are considered presumptive until the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirms the results. Two of the people had traveled to another country where the infection is spreading through the community. The third person had traveled to an area in the United States where the coronavirus also is spreading, according to a city news release.
One patient is hospitalized in stable condition at Long Beach Medical Center and two are isolated at home.“Our response and coordination with public health and safety officials are being taken extremely seriously,” Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia said in a statement. “We strongly believe that COVID-19 is a threat to public health here in Long Beach and throughout the United States.
Leo said the hospital staff has trained extensively for coronavirus cases and has ample medical supplies should there be an influx of patients to the hospital.“In order to follow the guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control, we are screening ... people with symptoms outside of the emergency department and masking those patients immediately,” Leo said. “Patients who are suspected of possibly having COVID-19 are immediately placed in isolation.
