Two new coronavirus cases identified in Washington state

Two new presumed cases of coronavirus have been identified in the Seattle area, including a high school student with no travel history.
The student, who is under 18, is the fourth person to apparently get the virus through unknown origin, also known as “community spread.” One case in Oregon and two in California have also been identified with no clear link to other cases.
The student started feeling ill Monday with body aches, chills and a headache, KOMO News reported.
Health officials said the student returned to his high school in the Everett school system, about 25 miles outside of Seattle, when he started feeling better. Tests results Friday revealed the teen has COVID-19 coronavirus, according to the radio station. He is being kept in home isolation.
Everett Public Schools tweeted that students who the teen had contact with also are being quarantined and will be tested if they develop symptoms.
In a letter, administrators told families they were closing the teen’s school Monday so they can extend the “deep disinfecting” started over the weekend.
The Everett high school is the second in Washington to close because of the virus. Bothell High School, also near Seattle, was closed Friday after a staffer’s family was placed in quarantine for possible coronavirus exposure, SeattlePI.com reported.
The staff member returned to work Monday after an international trip, but a family member who had been on the trip became sick Tuesday and was taken to the hospital. The family member is quarantined at the hospital; the staffer, who has no symptoms, is quarantined at home.
The entire school is being disinfected.
The second new case is a woman in her 50s who traveled to Daegu, South Korea, the center of the outbreak in that country, from Feb. 7-23.
She returned to Seattle to work Monday before she felt symptoms Tuesday. She reported her symptoms to health officials Wednesday and was tested for the virus Thursday.
She hasn’t been in public since her symptoms started and is at home isolation with her husband.
Another person with “extreme flu-like” symptoms checked into a Bellevue, Washington, hospital Friday and will be tested for possible coronavirus, according to a hospital spokesperson, KOMO reported.
The Washington State Department of Health have tested 37 people for coronavirus, with 29 cases coming back negative. Seven results are pending, according to officials.
“We will do everything we can to keep Washingtonians healthy, safe and informed,” Gov. Jay Inslee tweeted Friday night.
