The first patient was said to be recovering at home, and the source of that person’s exposure was unknown.

“This is not the news we wanted to hear, but it is not unexpected,” Dr. Lawton Davis, Health Director of the Coastal Health District, said in a statement Wednesday evening. “We have been preparing for this. Our hospitals and healthcare providers have been preparing for this.”
The second patient was said to be recovering at home and self-isolating. The source of that person’s exposure was also unknown. The Coastal Health District said the person had no known contact with a confirmed case.
